How To Play Britains Got Talent Bingo

The Britains Got Talent Bingo is quite busy. The top of the room is where you'll see the number calls and prizes on offer. A Union Jack in the background reminds you of the game's theme. Below comes a series of three crosses, like the ones you see on the stage of the BGT TV show. Squeezed in below that are the bingo cards. Don't expect to see any of the various contestants, presenters or judges involved in this particular game.

The BGT Bingo game is a 90 ball game and for the most part plays in exactly the same way as every other 90 ball game. The aim for you as the player is to get one line, two lines or a full house by matching the number calls with the numbers on your ticket. However to make the game more interesting there are a number of features including the Lucky Numbers Jackpot, Judges Jackpot and Star Struck games.

Lucky Number Jackpot

At the start of each game you're invited to choose three lucky numbers. These numbers appear on the crosses. If you don't choose any numbers then you're assigned random ones. If during any game that you're playing the one line, two line or full house prize is won with your lucky number, you will win a cash prize. These prizes are 50p (Buzzer Bonus), £7.50 (Audience Award) or the £250 community Judges Jackpot. If the latter jackpot is won then half goes to the winner and the rest shared by the fellow roomies.

Another feature of BGT Bingo are the Star Struck games. These take place every 30 minutes and if you purchase 6 or more tickets for this particular game then you'll get a bonus. The reward is a free scratchcard. We're not quite sure what time these games actually play because during our trial of Britains Got Talent Bingo we didn't see this feature being advertised. There is a chatroom though and occasional chat games played.

Our Verdict

Tickets for Britains Got Talent Bingo typically cost 10p each. Occasionally you might have to pay more. The maximum number of tickets you can purchase is 96. Note that this is a cash only room so any bonuses you may have accrued at Mecca Bingo will not be valid. As a 90 ball game it's highly enjoyable and we like the features that have been added to try and tie in with the TV show theme.

However, like a lot of TV game show bingo variations we think it could be better! A few clips from the show would make it more enjoyable for example. Judges or contestants doing the bingo calls would be fun too. DJ Talent is available now that BOGOF Bingo has closed down. Overall it's good fun to play and definitely worth checking out during BGT season as Mecca Bingo run exciting promotions including free bingo.

What was Britain’s Got Talent like this time around compared to the first time?

The first time around I was only 14 years old and I went into the show fearless. Initially, my goal was to get to the semi-finals of the live rounds and that went well as you know. I never thought I would win the show! I enjoyed the ride back then I was young and doing something I loved, doing it again last week was different…I’m 26 now. I’ve learnt a little more and I had more of a game plan. I put more thought into what I needed to do, I was more nervous this time around, but it was just as fun.

What’s the funniest moment backstage?

Probably just everyone getting on with eachother and respecting each others talent and we all have a laugh and a joke.It’s great to watch Stavros and his son perform and warm up they are so funnybut brilliant at the same time, they do make us laugh on and off camera.

Is there anything cut that we don’t see athome?

Well they do sometimes cut out some of whatthe judges are saying as sometimes they can be talking and critiquing forever.Also sometimes you only see a snippet of someone’s performance, that’s usuallyif they aren’t going through to the next round. They wouldn’t be able to showeverything that happens in just 90 minutes there’s always too much going on.And things like the make-up artists run on in the break to touch the judgesfaces up and the stage hands run on to clear or set up the stage and there’s awarm up guy keeping the crowd really entertained. It’s a massive production somuch time and effort goes into making everything run smoothly.

If you could vote for 1 other act this timearound who would you vote for?

Well I’m really glad that Stavros and his son got the Golden Buzzer last weekend. I absolutely love them and the audience were going crazy for them. I also loved Billy and Emily England the roller skaters, but I’m going to say Richard Jones he’s a really lovely lad we’ve become friends. I’ve got a lot of time and respect for him, he’s a true gent.

What have you done since winning the firsttime around?

I’ve done lots of films and dramas plus lots of tours and the West End and since Saturday last week I’ve done the press launch for this year’s panto. I’ve kept myself really busy for which I am grateful.

What’s the Dream Now?

In the past 12 years of this Britain’s GotTalent buzz I’ve learnt so much. I still want to do reality TV, stage andtheatre and any chance to perform is what I love. I want to live comfortablyand have fun. My dream job is entertaining people so I’m already halfway there.
