Between Northampton and London, Beacon Bingo clubs recently gave two lucky bingo players more than £23,000 in jackpot money.  Both jackpots were won on IGT Bingo Terminals.  IGT is one of the leading suppliers of bingo equipment in the UK land casino and bingo market.

First, back on 23 September, a regular bingo player hit the jackpot of £9,661.89 while playing the Kitty Glitter machine at the Northampton Beacon Bingo club.  Then on 6 October, a player hit on  Larry’s Lobstermania machine in the Cricklewood, North London Beacon Bingo club.  The October win of £13,330.04 is the largest jackpot hit to date on a UK bingo terminal.

The winner of the bigger prize, also a regular player, said that she planned on “spending the money on a luxurious holiday to somewhere very hot and finishing her kitchen in style”.  Congratulations to Mrs. W for the fantastic and historical win.

As Beacon Bingo Chairman Brian Mattingley says, “all our bingo venues have thise bingo terminals, which means everyone has a great chance to win fabulous jackpots”.

We are starting to get used to online bingo players hitting these sort of larger amounts but it has been rare in the land-based bingo halls.  Perhaps the smoking ban and tax increase have not damaged the land-based bingo industry quite so bad as we had been thinking?
