Gala Bingo
The Story of Gala Bingo
Gala Bingo is part of the Gala Coral Group, a company established when the Gala chain of casinos merged with the Coral series of betting shops. The resultant titan of betting has grown to such a degree that they are now the largest bingo operator and the third largest bookmaker in the United Kingdom. This empire incorporates both their retail spaces across the country as well as their online commitments.
Over five million people use Gala Bingo's services be they entering one of their high street clubs or visiting them online. The company boast of giving away a total of £42 million a week and run their company in line with a trio of key values. The first is 'thrills', Gala promising to give their registered users unrivalled excitement in their bingo rooms. Key value number two is 'community', those online users being able to take advantage of forums and chat devices to enable them to forge new friendships and sustain old relationships. The third and final key value is just that - value. Gala Bingo offer their customers the chance to play bingo for free - perhaps the company's unique selling point. Imagine not having to stake any money yet still being able to win large prizes? Now you can do just that!
The online arm of Gala Bingo has a wealth of bingo rooms with over 600 jackpots on offer daily. These bingo offerings run alongside those secondary services, such things as slots simulators and table games. There are 150 of these, allowing customers to take a break from their regular bingo experience to try something new. The company are committed to their 'quick, safe and easy cashier' service.
