Bingo Player Misses Out On Win In Live Bingo Hall

A bingo player has recently lost out on a £1,000 bingo win when the caller did not hear her call ‘bingo’ before the next number was called. This is always a potential problem at live bingo halls, as callers may not be paying enough attention to catch a call of ‘bingo’ before moving on.

Elaine Prendergast, a 63-year-old player at a live Gala Bingo hall, was the victim of this unfortunate mistake, but the rules of live bingo halls mean that she is unlikely to see her £1,000 jackpot. She says that she called ‘bingo’ early and loudly, with other players and the bingo steward backing her up, but the protocols of live bingo insist that claims are void once the caller has moved on.
