\"NationalIf you are primarily an online bingo player, then you may not even have heard of the National Bingo Game, let alone know what it is or how it works.<\/p>\n

For anyone who frequents their local bingo hall though, it will be very familiar to you, and probably one of the main reasons you go to the bingo club in the first place.<\/p>\n

Everybody knows that the prizes at bingo aren’t as eye catching as they are in other gambling games. Us players don’t mind that because money isn’t the main reason for playing really, but we certainly wouldn’t complain if the game remained the same but the prizes were bigger, would we?<\/p>\n

Well, the National Bingo Game is about the biggest game you can win in the world of bingo, offering a top prize of \u00a350,000 as well as smaller prizes and club prizes.<\/p>\n

But what is it, and how does it work? You online only bingo fans might even be wondering if it is possible to play online, which is a valid question, and one that actually has a slightly ambiguous answer.<\/p>\n

How the National Bingo Game Works<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

For most of a bingo session, players will be up against the other people in their bingo club, playing for small but nice prizes like \u00a350 or \u00a3100.<\/p>\n

However, every bingo session also includes the National Game, where all the clubs around the country who are taking part (which is most of them) are linked together, and play the same numbers for the same big prize.<\/p>\n

This one is a 90 ball, full house only game, so there are no prizes for getting a line or two lines.<\/p>\n

One caller at one club is nominated to call the game, and their calls are broadcast to every bingo hall in the country as the players mark off their cards, until a claim is made, at which point the\u00a0local<\/em> caller in the same bingo hall as the winner stops the game and the numbers are checked.<\/p>\n

So it’s just one big massive game the whole country play together.<\/p>\n

Now obviously, with bingo the more people that play the bigger the prize, so the National Game has a lot of prize money to be won.<\/p>\n

The prize breakdown works like this:<\/p>\n
