Online Bingo Calls Get Musical - 07-07-08

July 7 - One of the best things about bingo halls - online or off - are the traditional calling names for all the numbers. Players are all too familiar with the Two Fat Ladies (88) and Legs (11) as they are called out in a game, making their bingo sessions that much more entertaining.

A group of online bingo players at FreeBingo UK, however, decided that they wanted to give traditional bingo calls a major makeover and therefore came up with a musical-themed calling list, based on pop groups and singers.

Last week, Free Bingo UK launched its brand new Music Room bingo game, where all the bingo calls are based on the new music theme, much to the players' delight. The bingo calls incorporate exciting pop songs, top hits and famous groups to give the game an innovative concept.

Stuart Smith, the famous celebrity impressionist will add even more fun to the Music room game by having "Elvis Presley", "Tom Jones" and "Frank Sinatra" call out the numbers.

These new numbers include The Who (22), Eminem (10) and Get Your Kicks on Route (66). Players who want to find the entire list of 90 new musical themed bingo calls can go to the Free Bingo UK site.

The Manager of Free Bingo UK, Wayne Howe said: "These new musical bingo calls are all about moving with the times and engaging with popular culture to attract a younger audience to the game of bingo. The land-based bingo industry is suffering at the moment, but bingo online is really thriving. The fact that we can create new calls and design exciting themed bingo rooms really sets online bingo apart from the traditional 'eyes-down' bingo halls of the past."
