Bingo (United Kingdom) but 'red seventeen'. This means that the numbers can be called a lot faster by the caller (usually around 1.5 seconds a number). In most UK bingo clubs, including most Gala Bingo clubs, mechanised cash bingo is played on a plastic board which has small windows which are used to cover up the numbers when they are called. In all Mecca Bingo clubs, bingo cards are built into the table tops and the numbers are covered up using small plastic chips. The company involved will then use a computer (called a stage rig controller) to automatically take a "participation fee"
