Yes..as sad as it may seem I was forced into a bingo hall by my wife yesterday...something about no BJ's for a month if I didn't go so hey I wasn't arguing. Got into the mind numbingly boring progress of the game and lined myself up a few pints to make the going easier on myself. Minutes passed like hours to the interval then got a few more pints (she was driving) Finally the end of the session came..thank God I thought until she piped up that she was gonna hit the prize bingo for a 'last few games'...sod this I thought....I agreed she'd come and find me when she was done and I headed off to the fruities. Now there's something I don't like about bingo fruities....maybe the fact they are all lo tec but moreover they are always dead or have been done..and if you do find a lively one then you have to dropkick a granny to get to it first. My attraction was drawn to a £500 astra offering which wasn't being played...that in itself suggested it had been caned big time but hey after 5 pints I didn't care...the machine has 3 bottom reels..the 3rd of which has a feature entry icon on it and if you get it you go up to the top 2 reels..one of which is a cash amount and the other is a multiplier number ..x2 x10 etc. You get 5 spins on these reels collecting whenever you want and holding one or either reels at any point. In came a x5 and a £5 £25..not bad but as it was my first go I just held the x5 and span the cash....next go the fucker only goes and drops a £25 symbol so together with my x5 I have the chance to bag £125 on the press of the collect button......I pressed collect only to be presented with a ludricous gamble of £125 to £250 or nothing. Now don't ask me why for even a split second I contemplated that gamble..maybe the beer was talking but before I knew it I was moving towards that gamble button....in true matrix style I felt time slow down as I hit the button only to...only to .... only to WIN THE FUCKING GAMBLE....£250 sitting pretty with the gamble now facing £500 or fuck all. Sorry to put a downer on the end of the story but I hadn't drunk enough to take that gamble on so I collected and ran. Best part after that was because it was getting late they had already switched the change machines off so I had loads of people changing their notes up for my coins so I walked out with £90 coins (reasonable float) plus the rest in notes...oh I paid for my wifes bingo as a result and she was so grateful the BJ was always on the cards that night![]()
