For two years, French casinos have been waiting for this moment to revive their attendance and develop a new clientele. Bingo was authorized by the Gaming Commission in July 2015.
This is the first time in France that Bingo played in a casino will allow customers to win cash: it’s by purchasing a card, and with a bit of luck, that they can win thousands of euros.
Bingo is an accessible game, open to anyone over 18, and can yield substantial winnings.
How do you play? You need to mark off the 15 squares on your card. But most importantly, have fun with family or friends!
For reference, 1,500 is the number of bingo halls open within the European area.
The United Kingdom and Spain host two-thirds of them (approximately 600 halls in the UK and a little over 400 in Spain). It is estimated that 1,700 employees work there.
Spaniards are the most frequent players, and it’s in this country that the game has become the most family-oriented, especially among women. It is called “the housewives’ game” because women have gotten into the habit of stopping by these venues during their daily shopping.
You can find Bingo at the Palais de la Méditerranée Casino in Nice on Saturday, March 12, at 2:30 PM and 9 PM, and on Sunday, March 13, at 2:30 PM.
