Kirkwall in Orkney, Scotland, is the luckiest town across the whole of the UK, while Scottish locations are disproportionately fortunate, according to new research. The study, conducted by Paddy Power Bingo, takes a deep dive into the results of millions of individual games of online bingo played by their customers, revealing Kirkwall boasts a 31%-win rate.
The Scottish town’s impressive win ratio is almost 50% higher than that of any other UK town or city, with Lymington in Hampshire and Isleworth in London rounding off the top three (both with 21% win rate). Paddy Power Bingo punters may want to move to Scotland for some luck, as four Scottish towns feature in the top 10 luckiest locations – massively outperforming Wales, with Maesteg in Bridgend the only Welsh representative within the list.
