How likely are you to win at gambling based on your regional location?

Can your location affect your luck? Whilst there’s no exact science behind it, recent studies have suggested that it’s not so grim up north for gamblers.

On average, gamblers in the North East are the most likely to increase their finances by having a flutter. The latest figures published by the Office of National Statistics are proof positive that Geordies not only outperform their southern counterparts in the gambling stakes, but make a rather tidy net profit too!

Britain’s luckiest bingo towns
Further studies reveal that the north comes out on top when it comes to bagging top bingo prizes. Blackpool is officially the UK’s luckiest town for bingo players, with the North East’s Stockton-on-Tees taking second place. It seems that there might be something in the water!

Why are northerners so lucky at Bingo?
As far as stereotypes go, northerners certainly don’t lack any self-confidence, and psychologists believe that this might have an effect on gambling habits. Put simply, hardy northerners may be bigger risk takers, resulting in bigger gains when gambling.

Does location really matter?
Those among us who are superstitious might believe that lady luck shines on the north – although before you clamber on up the M6, consider how Wink Bingo allows you to play the latest games wherever you are, and whenever you want.

Bingo has come a long way since its 16th century origins, and Wink Bingo has taken the popular pastime well and truly into the modern age. Think you know bingo? Find out how strong your bingo game is with this fun quiz .

Wherever I lay my phone, that’s my home
Given the ever-increasing popularity of Wink Bingo’s online app, we expect to see the winning streak enjoyed by the north spread across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. Players can enjoy a game of bingo wherever they like – on the train, in the pub, or at home on the sofa – meaning that the potential to win big is open to you literally wherever you take your phone. However, if you believe in superstition, you might want to summon your inner Geordie and shout “why aye man” as the numbers roll in, regardless of whether you’re at Land’s End, John O’ Groats or somewhere in between.

How much could I win on a Bingo app?
Guaranteed jackpots mean that luckiest players enjoy wins of up to £200,000 each and every month, with plenty of other juicy prizes on offer along the way. Wink Bingo pays out nearly £750,000 in prizes on a daily basis, with players from all over the country eager to get in on the action. There’s also non-monetary prizes like holidays and tablet computers on offer, so there are plenty of reasons to play.
