888Ladies Bingo have made a couple of changes to the traditional bingo calls and they appear to be causing a few giggles over at our online bingo forum. This morning I logged into the bingo forum to catch up with all the members and found a post about the 888Ladies bingo calls made by one our members Cags.
Usually I’m quite on the ball with changes made at internet bingo sites but I had completely missed this one so off I trundled to 888Ladies Bingo to have a listen for myself.
I didn’t even need to login in to the bingo to see the changes that have been made; the full list of bingo calls are there for all to see at 888Ladies Bingo under the bingo promotion page! How remiss of me – don’t tell anyone or I may lose my reputation of being on the ball with things like this when it comes to internet bingo.
The 888Ladies bingo calls seem to have been dragged into the 21st century so I thought it would be interesting to do a comparison between the old traditional bingo calls and those at 888Ladies Bingo.

Of all the new bingo calls at 888Ladies Bingo only one remains the same – number 17 Dancing Queen – all of the others have had a complete makeover; some of them I didn’t know what 888Ladies Bingo were on about so I went and Google’d them.
- Number 1 – Gok Wan is apparently a famous fashion designer!
- Number 24 – Jack Bauer is the character player by Kiefer Sutherland in the show 24; makes sense when you know who Jack Bauer is.
- Number 31 – Alexa Chung is a model come TV presenter
- Number 72 – Table at Nobu – Nobu Matsuhisa is a famous Japanese chef
What do you think of the new 888Ladies bingo calls? Are you a fan or do you prefer the traditional bingo calls?
