Numbers up after Bingo overhaul

Bingo has undergone a radical overhaul in a bid to attract new players in Britain.
The famous "bingo lingo" has been banished and prize funds have gone up to compete with the National Lottery. Some games are now worth up to £2million.
Phrases like Kelly's eye (1), two fat ladies (88) and key of the door (21)were replaced four years ago with the simple calling of numbers.
Most Bingo halls have been refurbished and many now boast electronic terminals that let you play the game on screen.
There are now nearly as many people aged 25-34 playing Bingo as over-50s.
