At its Colossus Bingo event on Mother’s Day, Sunday, March 30, Buzz Bingo Cricklewood broke its own Guinness World Record for the largest payout for a game of bingo at a single bingo house.
One anonymous player – a regular attendee - scooped the main prize of £105,000, as well as earning a place in the history of bingo.
The event’s organisers at Buzz Bingo Cricklewood, one of UK’s largest bingo clubs, described the atmosphere as “electric,” and said that the venue was filled to near capacity with over 2,000 attendees.
"We are absolutely thrilled for our customer who has won this world record-breaking prize at our Cricklewood venue on Mother's Day,” said Steve Young, general manager at Buzz Bingo Cricklewood. “The atmosphere on the night was euphoric, with huge celebrations and excitement from the crowd - the roar when the prizes were claimed was electrifying and is one of the most dramatic false calls I've ever witnessed!
“We are delighted to have created such a memorable night, giving away over £250,000 in total in a single night of bingo. This win captures the magic and excitement of playing bingo together. We look forward to continuing to provide our community with exciting and memorable experiences like we did on Mother’s Day."
In addition to the record-breaking main prize, the event featured a total prize pool exceeding £250,000, with three additional £25,000 full house prizes awarded throughout the night. The event took on a carnival theme with magicians, balloon artists, caricaturists, acrobats and showgirls.
Joanne Brent, Guinness World Records adjudicator said: "This remarkable achievement showcases their dedication to delivering exceptional experiences and continually pushing new boundaries for their community. The entire event was delivered with an abundance of professionalism and enthusiasm. My sincere congratulations to the team at Buzz Bingo for once again claiming a Guinness World Records title."
