The platform's cash register — now with two tills.
The classic
90-ball bingo — the game every UK park guest already knows. Loyal, books out the bingo room.
The new draw
Bingo Beats pulls a younger, bigger, livelier crowd that would never sit a numbers night.
cash sessions a night
Two ticketed games instead of one — roughly double the nightly sales into the pot.
pot, every park
The linked layer is why a fifteen-park client licenses all fifteen — no single-venue system can answer it.
"House!"
is the number.
Two games. One jackpot. Whatever you came for.
Levy on every numbers strip, estate-wide.
Music cards carry the same levy — a second tributary.
Music early, numbers late — one pot all night.
The cash warm-up
Fills the room early, full bar — levies into the pot from the first song.
Local games
The park's own host calls two or three standard cash games. No network needed.
Every park, one draw
The central feed takes the screen — numbers or music — for the shared pot.
Win theatre
A shout pauses the draw across the country; the pot pays, or rolls to tomorrow.
Tight to win, capped to drop.
Pays a full house in ≤ N calls — N starts tight (38) and creeps +1 each session until won. Either format can trigger it, and the winner takes it on top of the normal prize.
At £20,000 the next session is a must-drop. With two formats feeding it, the ceiling arrives twice as fast — more "the pot MUST go" headline nights per season.
We own the numbers, not the money.
£2,025 a night into one pot.
The progressive hits its £20k must-drop ceiling in roughly half the time — bigger pots, more often, and a 10% platform fee on every ticket sold across both formats.
One ticket pipeline,
numbers or titles.
The shout is the show; the system is the safety net.
Band-linked tickets get an auto safety net: an unclaimed win triggers an escalating, comedic zone-level callout — never a name. Still unclaimed, it's banked against the ticket with a nudge to the guest's profile.
Two cash games means two age-gates — one credential.
Standard band
ID checked once at issue. Band-linked cash sales clear instantly on either format; the colour is the across-the-room human check.
Junior band
A distinct colour staff see at a glance; band-linked cash sales are hard-blocked. Family no-stakes prize bingo stays open to all ages, separately.
This evolves the locked spec. Spec 19 §9 still reads music bingo as no-stakes — the live design already treats it as a real-money co-star on the shared pot. Formalising that (a v0.4 update) is the call this deck asks the founders to greenlight.
Real-money music means real music rights.
PRS for Music
Covers the composition — songwriters & publishers. Required wherever a track plays in public.
PPL
Covers the recording — labels & performers. PPL PRS Ltd issues the joint licence.
Per-play reporting
The draw log already records every track, in order, timestamped — the usage report, generated for free.
Curated catalogue
Pre-cleared themed playlists — a park can never accidentally play an unlicensed track on a cash game.
Who holds which licence.
Venue / park
Bingo operating licence — large park groups typically already hold one. Covers both formats.
Showhub
Gambling software operating licence (GA 2005 §41). A months-long application — start it first.
Linked-game op
Whether the linked layer needs its own entity — the National Bingo Game is the precedent.
Music rights
PRS + PPL for the broadcast music game — the only licence line the co-star model adds.
Both draws provable. The room never freezes.
Certified RNG
A cloud Draw Authority generates number order and playlist order from a GC-certified RNG.
Commit-then-call
The full draw is hash-committed at sales-close, released call-by-call. Tamper-proof, provable post-hoc.
Append-only ledger
Every sale, claim, payout and track is a ULID event — the audit trail that also closes the books.
internet needed mid-game
A WAN drop degrades to a house game, never a dead room. Every payout idempotent.
The engine is ahead of the licence — for both.
A staged path to the first linked night.
The games, maths & tickets
Both draws, jackpot simulator, claim & sliding-N state machine, ledger & settlement, signed tickets, commit-then-call, print pipeline — prototyped.
Compliance & cleared parts
Gambling solicitor, GB software licence, linked-game operator structure, certified RNG, player-funds protection — plus PRS/PPL music rights.
Seasonal megas & cruise
The Live-Broadcast mega-event format and the maritime adaptation — designed, waiting their turn. The engine carries over unchanged.
Greenlight the co-star model
Make music bingo a second real-money format on the shared pot — the one decision that sets everything in motion.
Legal, licence & rights
Engage the gambling solicitor and a music-rights specialist in parallel; start the GB software licence — the long pole.
Certify & pilot both
One park, one pot: a numbers night and a Bingo Beats night sharing the jackpot, end to end.
