Britain’s biggest Bingo brand Buzz Bingo has officially opened in Boston – with a celebration led by a 74-year-old Bingo fan and local resident.
Deanna Kenny has been playing Bingo at the Boston Shopping Park club every day for the last decade. She joined the Buzz Bingo team on Friday 8th February to perform a special ribbon cutting, officially declaring the club open.
The launch of the new club comes as new research reveals Bingo players in the Midlands enjoy the game primarily as a way to socialise with others more than any other region in the UK.
“I feel very honoured to be the VIP guest,” said Deanna, who is known at the club for being a warm and caring customer. “The staff are all really friendly and I like seeing the regular customers. I won £5500 once, but usually, my winnings are just a bit of extra pocket change for shopping or presents for my family.”
Local Marketing Business Partner, Ian Fitzpatrick said: “The club could’ve chosen a celebrity or a local dignitary for their opening, but instead they wanted somebody who meant something to the club. That person is Deanna who represents all of Buzz Bingo’s Boston customers past and present. Matthew, the Club Manager recognised this and decided that Deanna is the ultimate VIP! It’s a truly fantastic gesture from a club built from its community roots.”
Buzz Bingo is the UK’s largest chain of Bingo clubs, with over 100,000 Bingo players winning nearly £3million every week. New research compiled by MIDiA Research on behalf of Buzz Bingo has revealed that Bingo fans are happier than most. It showed 70% of Bingo players said that they consider themselves to be happy, compared to 63% of all people. With social media fuelling predominantly negative news, Buzz Bingo believes that the nostalgic game could be an antidote to a deflated nation.

Chris Matthews, CEO at Buzz Bingo said: “Bingo appeals to people of all ages, from all walks of life. It’s a fun, safe, judgement-free night out with games, dinner and drinks, all for less than £20. We designed Buzz Bingo clubs to make socialising and being part of a local community easy, and research shows that Bingo players are more likely to have a positive outlook on life than others. Our colleagues are friendly, fun and supportive, and always delighted to help you have a great night out with friends and family.”
