Speaking about the upcoming events, Jonny Bongo said: “Christmas is my favourite time of the year and we are going national with The Winner Takes It All after launching it in Liverpool last Christmas.
“We are making our shows as good as we possibly can, featuring all of the usual Bongo’s Bingo antics and a big fat dollop of Christmas love from us too. Edinburgh will be bouncing with these Christmas party dates at The Winner Takes It All.
"We are all buzzing too as we've recently been on the front page of The Wall Street Journal across America Bongo's Bingo, which is crazy."
Currently taking place in almost 50 locations across the world, Bongo’s Bingo combines the nostalgia of bingo with an evening of the excitement of live entertainment. Prizes have been known to range from Henry Hoovers to karaoke machines.
Describing the festive events on their website, Bongo’s Bingo said: “Not only does the winner take it all this year, as even the losers will be treated to an ABBA extravaganza to sink their teeth into.
“Dig out your dancing shoes and get your disco pants on. The Bongo’s Bingo that we all love will be glittered with all of the ABBA classics, including some amazing themed prizes.”
The Winner Takes It All will see revelers enjoy not only bingo, but dance-offs, cheesy singalongs, and a rave. Early bird tickets are priced at £10, general release at £12, and final release sitting at £14 - each with a £3 booking fee.
The first event is set for December 2, with other nights happening on December 3 and 23. Each night, doors will open at 6pm with the last entry at 7.30pm, with the first game of bingo begins at 8pm.
