Origin of Game
The game was introduced under UK legislation as a game of multiple bingo.
It was launched in June 1986 as technology became available whereby clubs were able to connect to a game control centre via modem to receive a preselected list of numbers which were called in the same time window in each participating bingo club.
Clubs then relayed the details of the winner in their club back to the game control, who would then award the National Prize to the club whose winner had claimed in the lowest number of call across the country, and Regional Prizes to the clubs whose winners had claimed in the lowest number of calls in the given regions.
