National Bingo Week returned for its 5th year, running from 23rd – 29th June. It saw the industry come together – all operators – to celebrate the love of the game and the value it brings to all generations. Players were able to celebrate with discounted value sessions, and the festivities concluded with the win of an incredible £100,000 jackpot at Mecca Gateshead on the Sunday.
Research conducted by The Bingo Association revealed a growing disconnect between generations, with nearly a quarter (24%) of young adults aged 18-34 citing they struggle to interact with older generations.
That’s why the theme for this year’s National Bingo Week centred on the value of bingo as a ‘generation game’ – an activity to bridge the generation gap and bring people of all ages together – offering something for everyone, in the hearts of our communities up and down the country.
🎉 The industry saw attendance success as a result
During National Bingo Week attendance was up by a whopping 16% on the previous week, despite the record-breaking temperatures.
🎗️ Charity
On Friday 25th June, a nationwide charity game was held in support of Variety – The Children’s Charity, bringing in an impressive £20,000.
Within the last six years, bingo fans have helped raise over £2million for the Variety, demonstrating the remarkable spirit of giving within the bingo community.
👨💼 MP visits
17 MPs visited clubs nationwide, including Daniel Francis (Buzz Bingo Bexleyheath), Andrew Western (Club 3000 Old Trafford), and Johanna Baxter (Mecca Bingo Paisley). National Bingo Week also drew interest from 27 more MPs, who have expressed plans to visit clubs in the coming months.
📻 Bingo callers and industry spokespeople take to the airwaves
The generation game story was discussed on regional radio with CEO Miles Baron and 2025’s newly crowned Bingo Caller of the Year, Issy-Mae Hunt from Buzz Bingo, taking to the airwaves for interviews.
With a 10-minute news piece on BBC Breakfast (aired on Friday 4th July) discussing the resurgence of the younger generation in bingo clubs today with a visit to Mecca Luton talking to their customers. The clip also featured Bingo Benj – another previous Caller of the Year – who even called the numbers live on air.
The BBC Breakfast clip was picked up by Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox (aired on Friday 11th July), where it featured in a 3.5-minute segment showcasing celebrities enthusiastically engaging with and discussing their bingo experience.
📱 Social media competition to drive interest
In its first year, The Bingo Association created a National Bingo Week social competition – to encourage all bingo attendees to share pictures of them playing the beautiful game during the week.
🤩 Social media buzz with big name talent joining in
This year’s National Bingo Week had a star-studded line up, with Vanessa Feltz trying her hand out at bingo calling in Luton. During National Bingo Week, she debated on her Channel 5 Daytime Talk Show, Vanessa: Bingo – Is it brilliant or boring? and within the week, she was invited to try it out for herself. The verdict was that it is resoundingly brilliant.
Blue’s Duncan James also enjoyed a night out in Feltham with his mum. Duncan said: “I loved visiting Buzz Bingo with my Mum recently, it was brilliant. There really is something for everyone there. It is one of those games that brings people together of all generations.”
TV presenter Jenny Powell also surprised bingo goers in Manchester.
Miles Baron CEO Bingo Association “This year’s National Bingo Week went to new levels – shining a brilliant light on the contribution that bingo makes to our communities. It truly is a generational game and that is evident with the age of attendees in bingo clubs up and down the country. Although age and lifestyle can sometimes feel like barriers, the desire to spend meaningful time together is something we all share – even if we’re not always sure how to bridge the communication gap. It’s why we wanted to shine a light on a pastime that brings people together regardless of age. Bingo has always been more than just numbers – it’s about connection, conversation and community. Whether you’re 28 or 88 it’s one of the few social activities that everyone can enjoy together.”
Onwards to 2026!

Intralot S.A. informs the investor community and its stakeholders that on July 15, 2025 the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission approved the recommendation to award a new Lottery Central Monitoring and Control System (LCMCS) contract to its US subsidiary, Intralot, Inc. following a competitive bidding process.
The vendor awarded the contract will manufacture the counter terminals and self-service vending machines that sell tickets at 4,300 Maryland Lottery retailer points of sale; develops the software that runs the system’s sales and accounting functions; and provide numerous related services that are necessary to operate the Maryland Lottery. The term of the contract is 10 years with a possible 5+1 year extension.
As part its proposal to the State, Intralot has engaged nine local business enterprises (MBE) to service the Maryland Lottery contract. Historically, vendors have used fewer MBE partners, but Intralot believes its new approach will create far greater opportunities for local communities.
Intralot’s financial proposal corresponds to a total estimated contract term price of $260,393,946.
The Gaming Control Commission’s approval is an intermediary step in the award process for
approving any future contract.

The chaos-loving Joker returns in Cashin’ Joker, a vibrant 3-reel slot from Play’n GO that doesn’t play by the rules. As numbers tumble onto the reels and transform into powerful multipliers, players are thrust into a fast-paced experience full of surprises and dramatic shifts in momentum.
Every time the Joker symbol appears, the game shifts into another gear. A brand-new reel slides into view on the left, reshaping the grid and refreshing the possibilities. With each reel showing numeric symbols, the values combine to create the final outcome – a system built entirely around what’s on display. This clear, intuitive mechanic delivers instant impact while keeping things moving at speed.
A randomly triggered RE-SPIN feature further stirs the mix. When certain reel positions align, the game takes another shot at improving the outcome by spinning a single reel again. It’s a small touch that can make a big difference, especially when paired with the Joker’s signature transformation.
While Cashin’ Joker might feel like a spiritual cousin to earlier Play’n GO releases such as Fire Joker, it offers its own brand of mischief. Its single-payline structure and lean visual setup let the core concept shine – no clutter, just the raw energy of numbers landing in just the right places.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Cashin’ Joker shows how simplicity and smart design can still deliver compelling gameplay. It’s bold, punchy, and proves that numbers can be just as exciting as symbols.”
With its unpredictable pace and sleek mechanics, Cashin’ Joker is pure distilled fun – a game that thrives on quick decisions and bold results.
