These 10 UK cities have the most bingo halls for their population
BINGO players from across the nation love a traditional bingo hall. Online bingo has a lot to offer players. You can play from anywhere at any time. JOIN SUN BINGO NOW AND GET A £60 BINGO BUNDLE TO PLAY WITH * However, for some, nothing beats the fun that can be found in the bricks-and-mortar bingo halls. They are at the heart of many communities, where friendships are made, tested, broken and mended according to the outcome of the games. While many halls have closed over the years, a good number are still thriving and regularly enjoyed by local bingo buddies. New research conducted by Online Betting Guide has revealed the top 10 cities for finding an in-person bingo experience. These cities have the highest concentration of bingo halls according to their population size. The survey investigated the number of bricks-and-mortar bingo sites per 100,000 people. The results also revealed the cities with the highest number of bingo-related internet searches for England and Scotland. Cities with the highest concentration of bingo halls 10. Plymouth Just cracking the top 10, the list begins its countdown at the southern end of the United Kingdom. This port city in Devon has a population of 260,203 and 12 bingo halls. That means that there are 4.61 bingo halls per 100,000 people. It seems that when the weather isn't right for a stroll on the beach, locals are strolling into the bingo halls instead. 9. Bristol Travelling north, the next entry is the home of the Robins. Bristol boasts x3 the number of bingo halls as Plymouth, with a total of 36. Considering that the city has a population of 617,280 that means that there are 5.83 bingo halls per 100,000 people. 8. Cardiff The Welsh capital comes in at number eight on this list, owing to having a population of 447,287 that get to choose between 28 bingo halls across the city. As such, there's 6.26 halls per 100,000 people. 7. Edinburgh Another capital that made it into the top 10 list is Edinburgh. The Scottish city boasts 44 bingo halls for its 464,990 residents to enjoy visiting. To put that into perspective, there are 9.46 halls for every 100,000 locals. With Edinburgh spread over 102 square miles, there's no need for bingo fans to walk 500 miles to enjoy a game or two. 6. Sheffield The next entry brings us back south of the border, with a South Yorkshire city. The list of top things to do in Sheffield may be filled with conservation parks, shopping centres and botanical gardens but with 16.93 bingo halls per 100,000 people, there's also plenty of options for those that want to spend their free time with a dabber in hand. 1 5. Hull Staying in Yorkshire but swinging to its eastern edges, the middle spot of this countdown is devoted to the port city of Hull. The city has 59 bingo halls, which is approximately 18.79 halls per 100,000 people. It's truly a city of bingo fans, as we reported in 2023 that it is the city with the second-most bingo-related monthly online searches. There were 17,491 searches (per 100,000 people) being made by Hull residents. 4. Leicester The birthplace of Gary Linekar and Alison King just misses out on a spot in the top three. The Foxes' home turf comes in at number four on our list, with 96 bingo halls to keep its 508,916 residents entertained when their team isn't playing. That's 18.86 halls per 100,000 people! 3. Stoke-on-Trent Staying in the Midlands, Stoke-on-Trent has reached the podium and takes home the bronze. An appropriate medal colour, given that the region is known for its pottery industry. It claims the title of World Capital of Ceramics, which seems only apt when there are 29 separate sites across the city to visit that are devoted to pottery production. After you've visited a selection of them, you might like to pop over to one of their 77 bingo halls. That's 20.66 halls per 100,000 people. What's more, there have been 1540 online searches for bingo-related terms originating from Stoke-on-Trent in the past 12 months. 2. Coventry Another podium spot goes to the West Midlands, with Coventry taking silver. Its population of 359,262 people can choose from 88 bingo halls. Considering the population size, that's 24,49 halls per 100,000 people. 1. Derby It's a clean sweep for the middle of England as the East Midlands city of Derby takes the top spot on this list. When residents aren't making witty remarks about what's on telly (like the Siddiqui family) they might just be in one of the 100 bingo halls that the city has on offer. That's 36.97 bingo halls per 100,000 people. It has also been reported that Derby residents produced over 500 online searches for bingo-related terms in the past 12 months. However, Derby doesn't take the gold when it comes to online searches for bingo-related topics. That title belongs to Manchester, which saw over 1504 searches per 100,000 people. Meanwhile, in Scotland, the title goes to Edinburgh. The capital city saw over 784 searches per 100,000 people. *New customers only.

Race 1 (1,200m) (6) GOTTA GO EDDIE has placed in all three starts and meets modest opposition. (2) BINGO has drawn well and the switch to the Poly may suit. (7) VENCEDOR has been dropping in the ratings but looks competitive, while (8) SOVEREIGN COMMAND has been disappointing, but has a money chance. Race 2 (1,600m) (3) ACT OF GRACE has run well on the Poly and should stay the trip from a good draw. (1) GREEN MILE goes well on this trip. Drawn well on the Poly, he should be a big runner. (2) CARNARVON steps up in trip for the first time. Watch him. (9) GRIPEN is seldom far off and had a taste of the Poly last run. Race 3 (1,800m) (3) QUINN'S TIME won easily when stepped up in trip. With only 52kg on his back, he should be a contender. (6) LEXICAN POINT improved last time. He makes his Poly debut. (8) PAPA C was caught late last time. The shorter trip suits. (1) EVENTIDOR is up a further three points in the handicap and that form has not held up well. Race 4 (1,800m) (3) AFROPOLITAN looks primed for a win with a 4kg claimer aboard. (4) MOOLA MAN steps up to a more suitable trip and Gavin Lerena stays on the ride. (6) MY BOY LOLLIPOP could improve over the shorter trip. (8) BLAZING LIGHT has a light weight and was not far back on the Poly last time. Race 5 (1,000m) The switch to Poly could bring out the best from (1) WHEREVERILAYMYHAT's inside draw.

Thisiswhatitmeans has come on well on the Poly and a fifth win on the bounce is on the cards. (1) FUTURE FLO only missed a cheque four times in 24 runs, and those four were over ground. (2) BLUE HOLLY has been a bit disappointing but, with the light weight and good draw, she can surprise. Race 7 (1,200m) (1) WING WALKER easily won his maiden over course and distance. He can follow up. (2) FATE OF FORTUNE made a winning return first-up. He has a handy weight and can follow up. (6) MASTERBLING has a more experienced rider aboard. (3) PREEMPTIVE STRIKE loves the Poly and is not out of it. Race 8 (1,200m) (2) GIMMETHEGOODLIFE has done well on the Poly. A big contender.

All eyes on China-Brazil radio telescope mission to explore dark energy
Although scientists cannot fully explain it, dark energy is likely to compose around 68 per cent of the cosmos, according to Nasa. It is a repulsive, or antigravity, force that is causing the universe to expand. BINGO is short for 'baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) from integrated neutral gas observations'. By measuring these sound waves, scientists hope to better understand the large-scale structure of the universe and discover more about dark energy. The remote location – nearly 2,000km (1,240 miles) from the capital Brasilia – was chosen for its low radio frequency interference, according to a 2019 article by the BINGO collaboration, the multinational project spearheaded by Brazil and China. The main structure of the radio telescope is expected to arrive in the hilly hinterland of Paraíba state on the Brazilian east coast in about two months and will be one of the largest of its kind in Latin America when completed in 2026. A major space science cooperation project between China and Brazil is entering its last pre-commission stages, with the departure of what will be an Olympic pool-sized telescope from the northern Chinese port of Tianjin on Monday. The first plans for BINGO, which aims to further the world's knowledge of dark energy, date back to 2011. The scientists are seeking to understand the possible connection to dark matter – a little-understood and, as of now, undetectable part of space that seems to have no interaction with light or the electromagnetic field, but makes up 27 per cent of the universe and holds galaxies together. The telescope's 40 metre (131 feet) long single radio dish will have two reflectors, 28 antennas – also called horns and what makes the instrument unique – as well as receivers and an analyser. BINGO's principal investigator, Carlos Alexandre Wuensche de Souza, senior scientist at the Astrophysics Division at INPE, the National Institute for Space Research in Brazil, was involved in the design and development of the horns. 'We have many, many horns looking at the same region in the sky, so we collect more data and can connect this data in an easier way. When you can cover a large region of space at the same time, you get more sensitivity,' he said. Researchers from China and Brazil are the main collaborators in the project, but scientists from Britain, France, Germany, South Africa and other countries have all been involved at some point in BINGO. 'The Chinese are very good to work with,' Wuensche said, pointing to the expertise in science and logistics that the project's partners from China bring to the table. If we can have good results, maybe we can tell some new things about dark energy Carlos Alexandre Wuensche de Souza, senior scientist Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported that the main design and processing of the telescope were completed by Chinese experts. Wu Yang, senior engineer from the 54th Research Institute of the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and a core member of the BINGO project, told CCTV that the telescope's design was intended to simplify installation in Brazil. The Chinese researchers adopted a combination of panels and spatial truss structures to facilitate efficient installation and mass production, Wu said. CETC and scientists from multiple Chinese universities were involved in the telescope's surface and steel structure design and manufacturing process, with the project led by Elcio Abdalla, a professor at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. The telescope will also be able to detect movement of celestial bodies and allow scientists to study fast radio bursts – brief blasts of radio waves with massive energy output – and similar phenomena. 'We do not know what causes them, we do not know the model to explain why they are so bright, so intense and so short in time,' Wuensche said. Through the data collected with the telescope, he and his team may understand more of the physics behind them. Wuensche has high expectations of what the telescope could make possible. 'If it's well measured, if we can have good results, maybe we can tell some new things about dark energy,' he said. 'This would be a good contribution. This would be on the news.'
