HUNDREDS of bingo fans in York are joining in a nationwide experiment this week, to find the luckiest mascot in the country.
On Friday, August 13, players at Mecca Bingo in York will, along with thousands of bingo players across the country, take part in the experiment to find out which of four lucky charms are the luckiest.
Lynne Butterworth, manager of Mecca York, said: “Friday 13th is reputed to be unlucky. However, we don’t believe that. This experiment will not only prove that Friday 13th can in fact be lucky, but it will also reveal Britain’s luckiest mascot!”
On arrival, customers will be split into teams and have their bingo books marked with one of the following four lucky mascots; a lucky horseshoe, a black cat, a four leaf clover or a lucky Buddha.
Mecca York will run the experiment during the afternoon and evening session, where bingo will be played as normal, with a scoreboard to calculate the most wins gained by each mascot.
At the end of both sessions, the club’s results will be added to the results from Mecca Bingo clubs across the UK to identify which is the luckiest charm of all.
