Bingo Lingo
Most Bingo Lingo and calls in the UK date back to wartime and that’s a long time ago. All good things stand the test of time and they surely have! In all honestly we find them really great fun and they add another sparkling element to the bingo game. Some of the calls we don’t actually know where they originated from but we are so used to saying them that they have become second nature to us.
While we love our tradition – we are always looking to modernise the game. If you have any new ones to share with us we will do our best to push them into the game. Who knows, you could be about to invent something that the whole world will be calling soon – isn’t that awesome!
