The Gala Bingo High 5 is one of the most famous progressive jackpot prize bingo games there is. It plays online and it plays in their land based clubs also. In fact the High 5 was one of the reasons given to the National Bingo when Gala Bingo pulled out of the national Bingo Network. They wanted to concentrate their time and money on promoting their own giant jackpot game!
Needless to say there have been some lovely winners in the High 5 and what makes this game so lovely is everybody gets a share of the prize. The winner takes home 50% of the prize proceeds and the rest of the bingo players in the club share the balance. Now in land based bingo in recent times, the numbers really haven't been up, the weather has been cold and people have been staying home to play online bingo, where the numbers are really up. But this time it was not online bingo players who won big for a change is was the Gala Bingo Club in Hounslow, where 32 players got a look in on a prize of more than �253 000!!
The winner obviously took 50% of the prize and she wants to remain anonymous, ok she is a regular player and finally her loyalty paid off. But the 31 other players in the club as the time really lucked out because they also shared 50% of the prize and this amounted to more than �4 000 each. Admittedly they did purchase a bingo ticket, but they essentially also won free bingo money! Imagine winning �4 000 off someone else's bingo ticket, I'll bet just the thought of that is enough to put a smile on your face? It is no wonder that the Gala Bingo High 5 always causes such a commotion when it is won!
