Wales offers some fantastic bingo halls, ranging from converted theatres to brand-new structures, catering for the older age around lunchtimes to a younger clientele late into the evening.
Bingo is a versatile game that dates back to Renaissance Italy. There are games with as low as 30 balls up to the full 90-ball game.
