UK bingo callers help to add to the fun of playing the game of chance, according to Gala Bingo.
A spokesperson for the gaming operator explains that, since callers no longer use the "lingo" traditionally associated with the game, they must find new ways to entertain visitors.
They do so by interacting with players in between games and building up a rapport over the time that they are a bingo caller, the company claims.
Gala Bingo account executive Nikki Marshall comments: "A lot of them have been there for quite a long time - they love their crowd - and it becomes a bit of a hub for the community.
"People spend such a lot of time in there, the caller becomes really important to them."
In addition to its 162 bingo clubs nationwide, Gala Bingo also operates its own online bingo site, helping to get more people involved in the game of chance without the need to visit a land-based venue.
