Mecca Bingo has launched a Facebook application to celebrate its 50th birthday. Facebook members are being encouraged to upload a video of them performing their favourite bingo call with modern day terms. While the bingo lingo has disappeared from most modern day bingo clubs many players still remember the old terms used. By taking part you could win yourself £1,000.

Birmingham agency 383 Project, has managed the project which will no doubt be a big hit for Mecca Bingo. The aim is to find Britain's best bingo call and to take part you just have to think of a bingo call such as David Beckham 7, Jimmy Choo 32 or Vindaloo 52.

Once your video is uploaded it will be approved and a link back to the video posted on your wall so that friends can see it. Everyone that takes part will get a unique code for £5 free to play online. In addition there will be five £100 high street vouchers up for grabs for the most original calls each week and £1,000 for the overall winner, £700 for the second best call and £300 for the third best bingo call.

The top three places will be decided by the number of people that click the ‘like’ link. The competition runs until the 25th September and the winners will be announced at the end of the month.

Commenting at the launch of the campaign, Paul Gregory, general manager at Mecca Bedford, said: “As the game of bingo has changed over the years with new ways of playing, such as online or electronic terminals in clubs, we thought it was about time the calls were updated.

“We want as many quirky, funny, cheeky suggestions as possible and hope to get the full set of 90 calls which will then be read out in the clubs at a special party-night in October.”
