A night at the bingo in North Glasgow has turned into a life-changing experience for one lucky player. An anonymous visitor to Buzz Bingo in Possil Park won a massive £100,000 on the Big Money Live Game on 1 November. The win was the first major payout at the venue since it reopened in October following an extensive refurbishment, part of the £25M plan to revamp and modernise its UK clubs.
While the winner has chosen to remain anonymous, the club has confirmed that they plan to invest their winnings. Unsurprisingly, the win has created a huge amount of excitement among regulars at the Hawthorn Street venue. Staff say spirits have been high since the reopening, and this latest win has only added to the buzz.
Gary McDonald, General Manager at Buzz Bingo Glasgow, expressed the club’s delight at the result.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have our first big win since the refurbishment. It’s fantastic to see our players enjoying the new space and celebrating such great moments together. There’s been a real sense of excitement in the club lately, and we can’t wait to celebrate even more winners.”
Stevie Shaves, Chief Operating Officer at Buzz Bingo, echoed the enthusiasm.
“The atmosphere in club when there’s a win is always incredible, and we’re delighted to see one of our lucky members win £100,000 on the Big Money Live Game at Buzz Bingo Glasgow Possil Park. Overall, Buzz Bingo players win more than £2m per week in bingo prize money and we love to celebrate every one of them with our amazing community!”
The Possil Park club has only recently started welcoming players back through its doors after a major transformation. The renovation included a brand-new bar, updated decor, and a revamped Players Lounge, which is designed to provide visitors with a more comfortable and social experience. The venue now boasts more room for groups to enjoy a night out together while retaining the familiar community atmosphere that many players come for.
Following the refurbishment, there were extensive reopening celebrations including live music, a roaming magician, and plenty of chances to win prizes, including a £10,000 giveaway. After the opening party, McDonald described the event as “the biggest celebration we’ve had in Possil Park” and the start of a new chapter for the club.
Shaves said the upgrades form part of Buzz Bingo’s wider investment into UK venues.
“This transformation of our Glasgow club underscores Buzz Bingo’s commitment to providing the best bingo and entertainment experiences in the world, and we’re investing £25m into our venues over the next few years.”
He also noted that bingo is currently thriving as a favourite night out in Britain, with the game’s renewed popularity among younger adults reflecting its place as a good-value social activity.
If you live in the Glasgow area but you are not yet a member of the Possil Park club, then you have a lot to look forward to. Anyone who visits Buzz Bingo for the first time can benefit from a fantastic welcome offer that adds even more value to a night out.
New members can enjoy a meal, a drink, and their bingo from just £10. Whether choosing traditional paper books or touchscreen tickets, players can settle in comfortably and explore what the club has to offer. There is also a slots welcome bonus; if you put £5 into a slot machine, then you’ll be given £10 to play with. There are also offers for returning players, and those who bring a friend along will also be rewarded.
With new facilities, a friendly community of players, and chances to win at Buzz Bingo Possil Park looks set to thrive.
