Inaugural Euro Bingo Championship
The UK media have really latched onto industry reports that online casino bingo
gambling is surging in the UK in just the past year. The surge in UK bingo
gambling is uncontested but the recent European Bingo Championship event at
Paddy Power is perhaps a better indication of the increasing interest in online
bingo gaming. This is the first time that the Euro Bingo Championship was
offered through the Paddy Power online casino gambling group, and based off of
the success of the event, Paddy Power will likely offer the Championship in the
future.
The Bingo Championship appealed to land and online casino bingos alike
considering the huge prize pool at the online event. Players were able to win
any of a number of awesome prizes: a home makeover, a weekend getaway to Paris,
free flights for a year, laptops, flat screens, and a top prize of a Chevrolet
Aveo car. The event drew the interest of more than 660 bingo gamblers from the
European bingo market, all competing for the stellar top prizes.
The winner of the Bingo Championship, Robert Robinson, counts himself lucky to
have even played in the event. Robinson took home the Aveo after a grueling
final leg of the online casino bingo competition, and interestingly enough,
Robinson wasn’t even planning on entering the event! Robinson notes that the
timing of the event was integral to his participation, any sooner and he would
have opted to focus on the Euro 2008 Football Championships instead. But
considering he is walking (or driving) home the as the winner of the event,
Robinson observed, “I'm glad England weren't in Euro 2008 now or I might not
have entered and won the car!” |
