In the autumn, the very first (to our knowledge) feature-length movie all about bingo is set to hit the big screen!

‘Bingo Confidential’ tells the story of a group of bingo players chasing a huge jackpot, and the film’s director roped in some real bingo players to fill out the cast!

“It all started with The Bingo Bugle [a US bingo newspaper]. It sparked my curiosity, so when I drove a friend’s mom to bingo, I took a peek inside. It was packed!” says film-maker Susan Noel Benfatto “It’s a comedy, so we stretched the personalities, but everyone was in on the jokes…No bingo players were harmed during the filming of the movie!”

The movie goes on DVD release in the US this autumn and you can visit the movie’s official website here. Can’t wait til it arrives in the UK!
