Like you paying, but not winning at Bingo !

My first experince of Bingo was not a great one. I was 13 years old and visiting in a local hall with my Gran and Mum. They bought me a couple of tickets, just 2 so i could keep up with the Bingo caller. After a 30 minutes or so i stated to find myself sweating on two number 45 + 79. More numbers passed by and i thought my chance of winning was slipping away before both numbers came up. BINGO - I shouted at the top of my lungs.

The man came over and noticed i was under age and refused to pay up. They had accepted the money for me to play and drive up the kitty but would not pay up when I won.

In the same working mans club a few years later, I wasn't currently a member (£3 to join) I came across the same situation again but this time with a Fruit Machine which allows you to win a £250 Jackpot. There was a sign saying that non members were not allowed to play/win from the fruit machine.

So i started putting my money in and everything was fine, after a while i had started to win a bit of money and you could see the land lady erady to tell me off. I then won the bloody Jackpot. Knowing that the land lady would not allow me to walk away with the money I walked over signed a membership form, gave her £3 and then clicked the collect button. Ching Ching !!

Stick that one in the onion bag i got straight on my pay as you go mobile phone and called my gran to tell her the news!!
