How exactly is this game played?

I'd be very curious to see more details on how the mechanics of this game differ from that of a normal one-house Bingo game. How do the various houses communicate with each other (for example, when a win is claimed)? Kickaha Ota 19:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is a con

3 weeks ago the prize money was £200,000 on a Sunday night with smaller "regional prizes"

Fair use rationale for Image:National Bingo.gif

Image:National Bingo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Unnecessary part in "Rollover jackpots"

I'm not sure if this part is really necessary, so I'll reword it for now. BestAtBeingOdd (talk) 14:02, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
