Premier Bingo in the Scottish town of Alloa has partially reopened after a continued customer campaign, with plans now afoot to host games throughout the week after the venue’s bingo licence was approved.
The Auld Gambling Hoose was one of three Premier clubs that closed in August 2023 after the company entered administration, however ongoing local interest convinced its owners to bring bingo back to the Mill Street site.
“Whilst being on site for some of our early works, we got absolutely badgered by passers-by about reopening,” a spokesperson told Bingo Daily. “Based on the extremely low numbers of people playing bingo at the club over the last five years, this was something we were not keen to do. But we relented.”
“Our expectations were very low. In fact, we fully expected we would have to cancel after four weeks due to poor attendance. We have been absolutely blown away by the number of people turning up week after week. Clearly, there is still a demand for bingo in Alloa, and not one Monday goes by without more badgering from you guys about opening more days.”
Based on “the incredible support” and the “clear and obvious demand for more bingo” the company has now started planning “to test out a couple of more days of bingo in the new year.”
