By Sarah Smithon Wednesday, 7 Nov 2007 Mecca Bingo is getting into the groove with its latest promotion.
The bingo firm is offering visitors of its website's chat rooms the chance to enter a draw to win an mp4 player, which can also play movies.
All players have to do is log on to a Mecca Bingo chat room and take part in one of the many games on offer to win some of the latest mp3s and music players on the market.
Mecca Bingo is also trying to enlighten bingo players about the history of the game this week, as it has released ten facts you never knew about bingo on its site.
At the top of its list is the fact that bingo used to be called "beano" – a phrase which is now better associated with a comic for young boys.
The bingo site also reveals that there are around 1,474,200 unique bingo card combinations and that more than three million people in the UK regularly play bingo.
But perhaps most exciting of all, Mecca bingo uncovers celeb favourites such as Denise Van Outen, Hollywood honey Catherine Zeta Jones and ex-Take That member Robbie Williams as huge fans of the game.
