An Evening With BJ's Bingo Birmingham

A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to experience a night at BJ's Bingo in Birmingham! I must admit, playing bingo is something I had never experienced before and so in the interests of trying something completely new, I accepted the invitation! Along with my friend Victoria (another bingo novice) we set out for a night of bingo in our nearest city; Birmingham! 

When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and invited to register online using the tablets provided, this was quick and easy to do. We were then shown into the hall where we would be playing the games. It was a really spacious room complete with a licenced bar too! We were shown to a table and one of the staff took a lot of time to explain to us how it all worked. Being out of my comfort zone, I was a little bit nervous if I'm honest and so her taking the time to check we were both settled at this point and then throughout the course of the evening, really helped us both to relax and enjoy the evening. I was surprised to learn that we could play the games using an electronic device. This meant that the numbers called would be automatically dabbed. The tickets you have that have the most chance of winning jump to the top of your screen so you can follow them closely. The numbers on these tickets that you are waiting for in order to win are also presented to you so you know which ones to listen out for! Once they do, all that's left to do is shout 'house.' Any prize money is then credited to your account to be collected at the end. The auto dabbing option was a great help, enabling us to sit back and enjoy the evening without worrying that we had missed a number. My friend was delighted to win £150 and I won £30 so it was definitely a successful evening! 



During the evening we were kindly provided with our evening meals which we both really enjoyed! I had a veggie lasagna for a main and waffles for pudding! I enjoyed them both. There was a great selection of meals and snacks on the menu We both loved that there was a bar so we could enjoy a drink whilst playing the games. 

Overall, we had a really enjoyable night. The staff were exceptionally friendly, funny and helpful and the premises were clean, modern and comfortable. If you're interested in playing bingo for the first time or if you're a seasoned pro then I definitely recommend BJ's Bingo! What's more, they offer free bingo, a dabber and a drink when you bring a friend as part of their #MateDate promotion!
