THE HOT NEW BINGO TREND (con’t)
Bingo has a branding issue - people think it's for old people...and well, It generally is... Some innovative and creative managers are making bingo current by playing loud music, lowering the lights, hiring an MC to get the party started and marketing the game as "It's not your Grandma's bingo'... and the results are impressive.
Lot's of halls are starting new 'Cosmic' bingo sessions. Check out the stories below to get some inspiration.
