Gala Bingo Clubs withdraw from the National Game
20 May 2008
With the introduction of the recent Gambling act, Gala Bingo Clubs introduced their own High 5 jackpot game, alongside the National Game.

Gala will continue to play the National Game until 31st August 2008 with the High 5 game continuing in its current format until the introduction of the new, enhanced High 5 game on 1st September 2008.
