The Gala Bingo High Five has done it again, we recently reported a big winner in Scunthorpe who went back to work, one hour after landing nearly ₤200 000 in cash. But there was another win in this high stakes game, with players in both Falkirk and Newcastle sharing in the huge prize money.

Sixty five Gala Bingo clubs in the UK have members who have reaped the benefits of playing the High Five game. The great thing about this game is when a winner wins it, the rest of the players in the club get a share of the prize, so everyone becomes a winner, one can only imagine what celebrations go on in these bingo clubs when everyone leaves a couple of thousand richer, literally hundreds of people have won on this game.

The Gala Bingo High Five was launched when the new UK gambling Act came into place. This Act allows bingo clubs to roll-over amounts that have not been won, which makes the jackpot higher than ever. The game has to be won when full house is called on a number ending in five, and when the game was won in Newcastle and Falkirk the prize money was a whopping ₤689 479.73. This enabled 384 people to go home with more than ₤1 000 each.

Gala Bingo has already given away ₤7.9 million in the High Five game and the Managing Director of Gala Bingo, Simon Longbottom says they are of the opinion that they are delivering the best value game to their bingo customers.
