A recent survey found that most bingo players have a favourite drink that they enjoy when they play bingo.

Of the players who play in offline bingo halls, the preferred drinks were whisky and port.

Bingo players in these clubs also liked mixed drinks and basic cocktails.

One club in Scotland said they had made up a bingo cocktail at request of their patrons.

The “Bingo Slammer” is much like a Black Russian, with coke and vodka on top of a kahlua base. “Bingo players love it!” says the barman.

Online players mostly prefer coffee and hot chocolate, found the survey.

Free Bingo afficionado, Sophie Lexus, says her favourite for cold nights is hot chocolate. Other times she enjoys a port. “Bingo is best with a nice drink!” she said.

Sophie runs SuperFreeBingo.com, a bingo portal of free bingo money on sites such as Foxy Bingo, GameVillage and 888Ladies Bingo.
