The bingo giants are that Gala Bingo are forever running promotions and now they are back on our television screens with a brand new bingo advert. This new advert comes at a time when various other bingo sites have also launched television campaigns, some really good and others not so great so here at Babble we thought we would look at this new Gala Bingo advert and see if it is any good?
Where were you in 1991? Were you standing awkwardly at the sidelines of a school disco, listening to “Stars” by Simply Red? Were you mourning the death of Freddie Mercury of Queen? Or were you one of the people standing in the line to go and see “Silence of the Lambs” at the cinema? Or maybe, you were one of the first people to play on the newly launched Gala Bingo site! Yes, bingo players, believe it or not, Gala Bingo has been established for 21 years and is celebrating by offering players some great promotions between now and 21st October 2012.
Upon doing our daily online bingo news search, we came across an article about a woman from San Diego who was celebrating her 106th birthday this week. Although an achievement, there is nothing too out of the ordinary, you may think. But this woman has the sprightliness and jovial personality of a woman of a much younger age, and still plays bingo every day between 2pm and 3pm. This then made us think about other bingo players who have reached a grand old age and still enjoyed their daily bingo fix, and we asked ourselves – does playing bingo actually keep you young? Does it even help you live longer?
Bingo and social media has been in the news a lot in the last few weeks with the launch of the Friendzy Bingo platform, which is allowing users to play with real money on Facebook for the first time.

Here, we look at how some of your favourite Bingo brands use social networking pages (not apps) to improve their offering, and gain more players.
There has always been a debate about where the bingo player can achieve the best and safest bingo experience. Many Bingo hall players dislike online bingo, as they don’t like the idea of their money being moved around online. However, with more and more reports of serious crimes occurring around Bingo halls, we have to ask if the cash rich environment is more risky for players – and bingo operators – than online gameplay.
Everyone likes to think they will be able to celebrate their 100th birthday in style however very few actually reach this very impressive milestone but one bingo fan did and in fact surpassed 100. Mr Joseph ‘Fred’ Parry who has had a passion for this game for years and years and was an avid bingo fan has died aged 101 peacefully at this daughter’s home in St Judes. Fred, as he was known, celebrated his birthday 100th birthday in a Gala Bingo hall in January last year.
