Despite being a relatively simple game, bingo takes you on a whole roller coaster of emotions from start to finish. Believe it or not, these emotions actually differ all across the country. 888 Ladies has asked women across the UK how they feel while playing, and this is what they found out…

As many as 72 per cent of women in the United Kingdom consider themselves bingo players – given that there are more than 32 million women living here in the UK, that’s a huge number of bingo players.

In order to look at the full range of emotions felt when playing bingo, 888 Ladies asked their bingo players around the UK how they feel when they’re winning and when they’re losing. They ranked the results to give the top five of each.

The intensity of winning often conjures up a mixed bag of emotions, which is why people picked more than one answer, and which is also why the total percentages add up to more than 100 per cent.

The strongest emotion by far was excitement, followed by pleasure and happiness.

Interestingly, as many as four in 10 women feel a sense of achievement in winning a game of bingo, whereas just three in 10 feel surprised by the win.

Even though happiness wasn’t the number one emotion that was felt by players, it’s certainly the most widespread emotion across the UK. So there you have it, bingo makes people happy.

If everyone won all the time, bingo would quickly become very boring – it’s the thrill of the elusive win which keeps people interested. While there’s nothing quite like shouting 'bingo' at the end of a game, it seems that not everyone is all that bothered by losing.

Some people believe in luck, some people believe that they make their own luck.

Interestingly, 39 per cent of the women they asked said that they didn’t have a lucky number, meaning that they could play any card and be equally happy with their chances of winning.

A whopping 61 percent of women have a lucky number they look out for in a game of bingo, and that number alone is powerful enough to inspire a range of emotions in the women who play.

Amusingly, 19 per cent of women feel a sense of surprise when their number comes up – a surprise which is probably only second to the realisation of a win.

People were asked how it feels to watch their friends win a round of bingo even if it meant that they lost as a result, and the results were pretty positive.

Fortunately, a lot of people are just in it for the fun, and they don’t care whether they’re winning, their friends are winning or if they’re all just losing.

So what has 888 Ladies learned about their bingo players up and down the UK? The majority of women play bingo, no matter where they live or how much they make. Most people are excited when winning a game of bingo, happy when their friends are winning, and a third of all bingo players aren’t really all that bothered by losing. Some numbers are lucky for some (though this may or may not include the number 13), and most people who do have a lucky number feel pretty excited when theirs comes up.

So there you have it – if you’re looking for an exciting game which you can play with your friends, without spending a lot of money, no matter where you are in the country, bingo is the way to go.
