Topic: Bingo

Have just returned from Greek Islands and Turkey on Celebrity Equinox in the Bingo we had kids shouting out... to each other through the game, shouting Bingo when they knew it wasn't and constant load music the caller played over her calling the numbers, we heard so many people complaining about this, perhaps only in UK do we treat this game seriously! it's being played for money. We have gambling laws in UK that to play you must be an adult. A 12 year old won the final $2000 jackpot, (is there no US rules about children being able to play these games for money!)

Yes they do Carolb. You have to be 21 to take part in Bingo. All the American ships I have been on, it was strictly observed along with drinking laws.

Good Morning CarolB.

Edna's right. We have sailed with Celebrity quite a few times and were informed that children & teenagers were'nt allowed in the casino because it's illegal for them to gamble.
Anyone else come across this?

By the way. Was the jackpot won on the last day at sea?

Returned from FO Boudicca last weekend. Had never played Bingo before but decided to give it a go. Everyone took it very seriously and I was delighted to win just over £100. There were a number of under 18s on board but they were not allowed to play Bingo and indeed were not allowed to play activities organized for adults without a parent being present.

We had constant load music played over the calling of numbers, a room full of kids, shouting, they won many games and on the last day a 12 year old from venezuala winning the jackpot.
