Every so often, we spot a new up-and-coming trend that really catches our eye and tickles our fancy.

And when that trend gets the social-media-seal-of-approval... well, suffice to say we're all over it like a donkey on a waffle. Now (following in-depth analysis) we can confirm that pretty soon the pastime just about everyone will be partaking in is... Bingo. Yes, the numbers game once beloved of grannies has been given a 2017 makeover and is all the craic: affordable and fun, you can also win cash monies in prizes (which would be nice).

2) It's something different  How many times have you been crying out for something that isn't the pub or cinema? Jack Pott's is open seven days a week until 11pm and it's usually jammers with happy-as-larry punters. Certainly, there is the opportunity to meet your fellow bingo-enthusiasts in a fun, chill setting (even if you go along by yourself). 3) It's easy If you're not entirely sure how the game works (*furiously types 'bingo' into Wikipedia*) the Jack Pott's staff are patient, helpful, and accommodating (bless them): in a nutshell it's a game of chance and if you win you need to loudly shout out 'CHECK!' in order to claim your prize. https://twitter.com/ChilliShar/status/918207224815767552 4) It can be a family affair Bring your mam and dad along for the craic; encourage your siblings to join you; put a call-out into the clan's Whatsapp group - bingo is a great thing to do en famille. Think of it as taking your board game get-togethers to the ultimate next level. 5) It's pretty fancy You don't need to sharpen your pencils to take part: at Jack Pott's it's not just traditional paper bingo - you can play on electronic terminals at all three of its venues.
