888ladies Bingo moves with the times, and their latest innovative idea is the modernisation of their bingo ball calls. Bingo ball calling is the term used for the pairing of each number in a bingo game with a traditional, humourous and usually rhyming short phrase, such as the memorable ‘two fat ladies’ for the number 88 – which also includes a clever and cheeky visualisation for bingo players at no extra cost.
Bidding goodbye to some of the old-style bingo ball calls, 888ladies bingo have updated their bingo dictionary with modern references and showbiz personalities, aiming for the younger and trendier generation of bingo fans in the UK.
The bingo number 48, traditionally called as a rather boring Four Dozen has now been revitalised by the 888ladies online bingo team with the clever term Fake Bake, referring to the boom in fake tan products in the UK as opposed to harmful sunbeds. Bingo number 8, originally the Garden Gate, is relabelled as Catherine Tate, after the much-loved British comedienne known for her outrageous humour.
888ladies bingo have even immortalised Amy Winehouse with the term Amy’s Beehive winning the title for bingo number 85, originally known as Staying Alive. Bingo number 62, originally Tickety Boo, has changed to the slightly longer Problems Solved with a Brew, referring to the age old cuppa that Brits love so much, a favourite among online bingo players too.
All these changes to bingo ball calling at 888ladies bingo including Jimmy Choo (2), Menage a Trois (3), Christian Dior (4), Chanel Number 5 (5? - Ed), Bring out the Botox (30), Days in jail for Paris (45), Exercise my bum (71), and all the way up to 90, lend weight to the phenomenal growth in popularity of online bingo among the younger and fairer generation in the UK. 888ladies is proving its commitment to keeping up with the bingo times.
