London: Five years ago, bingo was seen as boring for anyone under 66. But now, it’s making a comeback, especially at Hijingo.
Hijingo offers a modern twist on bingo. Layla Nicholson visited the venue in Shoreditch to check it out. She found a lively atmosphere with an AI host named AVA.
When Layla arrived, she was ten minutes late. The game was already in full swing. The venue was dark, lit only by red strobe lights, creating a rave-like vibe.
Instead of a traditional bingo caller, AVA called out the numbers in a robotic voice. Players had to stay focused, as numbers appeared on digital screens around the room.
Hijingo also offers drinks to help players relax. The atmosphere was intense, and Layla felt the pressure as other players cheered for their wins.
Winning at Hijingo isn’t just about getting a row or a full house. If you win a round, you get to go on stage for a chance at bigger prizes.
Layla watched as winners opened boxes for prizes, which included holidays and cash. The excitement was palpable, especially when someone from her table won a full house.
As the final prize was revealed, the room erupted in cheers. It felt like a game show, with everyone shouting numbers and celebrating together.
After the game, Layla enjoyed a drink at the Lucky Cat bar. Bingo is back, and it’s more exciting than ever with AI, drinks, and big wins.
