Funnily enough I actually missed this bit of news and was really surprised that I had as I love the aspect of bingo that includes sharing the wealth; however I felt that I should report it in retrospect so here you have it.

National Bingo Gibe UK Players What They Want Most!
The National bingo has spent some time asking UK bingo players what it is they want and now they have decided to give them just that. From Sunday the 20th January 2008 the National Bingo welcomes back regional prizes and gives more opportunities to win in more bingo clubs for more winners.
Bingo in the UK Still Has Many Years of Life to Enjoy
The owner of the Empire Bingo in Wisebach, Mr. Norman Jacobs, who is also the operator of the bingo club, is certain that bingo will still be around in the UK for many years to come. He does not concur with the nay-sayers who are predicting doom, gloom and collapse for the land based UK bingo industry.
Even though he recently sold the Hippodrome to the Petro u Brothers, he says that sale was not because of any drop in revenue or worries for the future of the land based UK bingo industry, it was purely a wise business decision as the Petrou brothers approached him and made him an offer on the Hippodrome bingo business that he could not refuse.
Originally Mr. Jacobs had planned to operate both the Empire and the Hippodrome, and had no intention of getting out of the bingo business. But the offer came along at a time when it made good business sense, he will still be operating the Empire as an independent bingo club and does not anticipate that the smoking ban, or anything else for that matter is going to affect his business for 2008. The worst of that is over and he has his loyal staff and members to thank for this.
Dotty Bingo Lovers Raise Memorial to Dead Pet
After all the doom and gloom and seriousness of the UIGEA, Rank (Mecca Bingo) problems, and credit card bingo fraud, it is nice to be able to report on a story that has some real heartfelt warmth to it.
While the story is not about the kind of bingo that we know and love it is about a very special Bingo that a Croatian household knew and loved dearly.
Bingo the Dalmatian was the pet dog of fifty-two year old Goran Tomasic and his wife and their love of bingo was the reason that they painted their house in a very specific manner. They painted their house white and covered it in black Dalmatian-like spots in remembrance of the pet that they knew and loved so well.
Bingo lived with the couple in the town of Pribislavec and sadly he was run over by a car and killed. The couple missed him so much that they decided to paint their house to look like Bingo and ensure that none of the residents of their village would never forget him. Mr. Tomasic said that at first they were worried what the neighbours would think, but they loved Bingo so much they went ahead and did it anyway. Now all say…awwwwww!
