Q




Bingo nicknames are used to announce or repeat the number being called in a humorous way and also to help confirm the current number during the game. The use of nicknames persisted in British Bingo halls until the air-blown balls were replaced by faster computer drawn numbers.

The bingo numbers can have several nicknames and the list below is by no means a complete list.

So in good old bingo tradition - ready to play?
