Listen to this article:Last month, at the Centrale club in Croydon a very lucky bingo player took home a whopping £50,000 jackpot while playing the National Bingo Game.
According to Mecca Bingo, the club’s operator, the player, who has chosen to remain anonymous, is a regular customer at the venue on Tamworth Road, and she was playing with a group of friends when she hit the big win.
Impressively, it was the third time that Altex Gibson, the club’s caller, had called the National Bingo Game jackpot. He has been working at the venue for 20 years and following the win, he said:
“When I told her that she’d actually triggered the £50,000 jackpot, she was in shock. Fridays are one of our busiest nights. The winner was playing on one of our electronic tablets and when she saw she had a full house she hit the ‘claim button’. But what she hadn’t realised was that she’d completed her ticket on the 15th call.
She was really happy with the smaller full house club prize, but when I told her that she’d actually triggered the £50,000 jackpot she was in shock. In fact, I think she’s probably still in shock now!
It’s the third time that I’ve had the honour of telling someone that they’ve won the £50,000 jackpot. I may have been here for 20 years, but it still feels good when someone wins that amount of money – we get the champagne out and everyone is shouting and clapping.”
Mecca Bingo players had a very successful start to 2025, with no less than six people claiming the £50,000 jackpot in January at clubs across the country. For example, a lucky bingo seat leads to a massive £50K jackpot win in Leeds. Furthermore, there were also wins for 3 players at other bingo clubs, which means that a total of 12 players took home the jackpot in January.
However, there have been no winners yet in February and the end of the month is fast approaching. Considering there are two chances to win every day, this is quite remarkable. In 2024, there were multiple winners every month of the year, and the same was true in 2023.
The National Bingo Game is usually played every day in the afternoon and evening, and it can be entered at participating bingo clubs across the UK. It costs just £1 for two tickets or £2 for five, and the £50,000 jackpot is won if a player calls house in 16 numbers or less.
In addition to the National Bingo Game, there are plenty more chances to win sizeable prizes at Mecca Croydon club. Every night of the week, there are several games with substantial jackpots up for grabs. On Mondays, there are five chances to win £100, on Tuesdays there are four chances to win £100, on Wednesdays there are five chances to win £50, on Thursdays there are five chances to win £100, on Fridays there are 11 chances to win £200, on Saturdays there are five chances to win £500, and on Sundays, there is the chance to take home a £1000 prize.
The club also offers onsite parking, a licensed bar, slot machines, and a full menu of food and drinks. Newcomers can take advantage of the New Member Offer and enjoy all their bingo and a drink on their first visit for just £5.
