Buzz Bingo Times and Prices

Up to six sessions a day, what a book costs, the £10 first visit and every open Buzz club by area.

The short version

Buzz runs up to six bingo sessions a day per club, with a lunchtime main, an evening main from 7pm and a late game after 9pm, and you don’t book: you turn up, join at the desk and play. Paper books start around £1.50 and touchscreen packages go up to about £59 for the biggest bundle, but each club sets its own day-by-day prices. Your first visit is £10 for a meal, a drink and your bingo. 75 clubs are open; every one is listed below with a link to its own times and prices.

When the sessions run

A Buzz day is built around the two main events. There’s a lunchtime main, usually somewhere around 1pm, and an evening main at 7pm that runs about two hours, and clubs top and tail those with a late game from around 9.15pm and shorter sessions in between. Buzz’s own club pages label them differently from hall to hall (Swindon lists Lunchtime, Evening Main Event and Late Night; the rules of play talk about Lunch Club, Big Bite and Late Finale), but the shape is the same everywhere. Our club pages carry each hall’s own timetable.

You can’t reserve a seat and you don’t need to. Buzz’s line is “no need to book, just pop in and play”, which holds even for the Saturday evening main, though the popular clubs fill up early for that one.

What a Buzz session costs

Buzz prices by the session and by the day, and the spread is wider than at most chains. On paper the cheapest books are around £1.50, and Cricklewood lists a Tuesday afternoon at 50p. On the touchscreen units a package covers more tickets for more money: Swindon’s biggest “All In” bundle is £59. The rule of thumb is that afternoons and early-week nights are the cheap end, Saturday night is the expensive end, and the touchscreen always costs more than paper because it plays more tickets for you.

Your first visit is fixed at £10 and it’s the best value in the building: a meal, a drink and a full main-event book (or 30 touchscreen tickets) plus a selection of extra games. The same £10 deal runs again on your second visit, and if you bring someone who’s never been, you both get it. Slots stakes start at 2p a spin, and slots players get free snacks and soft drinks while they play.

Every Buzz club, by area

75 open clubs and 42 that have shut. A lot of the open clubs were Gala Bingo until the rebrand in 2018, which is why you’ll still hear locals call them Gala; our pages for those clubs carry the old name in their history. Closed clubs sit under each area so you can check the one you remember.

Jackpots that link every club

Two games run across the whole chain rather than in one hall. The Big Buzz Special pays £50,000 for a full house in 40 numbers or fewer, on top of the house prize, and the Party Time Special pays £10,000 on the same rule. Big Money Live links the prize pool across the clubs and buzzbingo.com at the same time, so an online player and a hall player can be in the same game. The Pot of Gold Jackpots add a bonus on the last three pages of each main session if the full house lands on the highlighted number. All of these are called by random number generator, and the caller’s screen wins any argument with the board.

The Buzz app and membership

Membership is free and everyone plays as a member. Join at the desk when you arrive, or online first, and you’ll get a card and a welcome pack. The Buzz Bingo app then works as your membership card and is where the weekly offers arrive, including the Thursday Cash Match, which is £10 of free play when you scan in with the app from 4pm. The Slots Club, also free, sends its own texted vouchers and runs a free-to-play slots tournament every Thursday with cash for the top three across all clubs.

Buzz checks ID under a Think 25 policy, so if you look under 25 bring a driving licence or passport. Staff can’t play in their own club, and most clubs have a roofed outdoor terrace where you can smoke and keep playing.
