Bingo Calls

If you're not a bingo whiz, here are some of the fun bingo calls you might come across in our great rooms.

These calls were traditionally used in bingo halls, buy why not bring in some of the fun to our great chatrooms or use one to help create your username - who knows they may even bring you some luck!
