Home Bingo Caller : Rhianna

Team Bingo: Rhianna

Rhianna has worked as a bingo caller for most of her adult life. She’s now in her late 30s, and still loves her job.

“I’ve met so many interesting people, and I really think that I’ve made a difference in some of their lives. Not just by reading out the numbers on the bingo balls, either – although they do say thank you when they win!” says Rhianna, with a smile “some of the regulars appreciate a friendly face, and after a few weeks you get to know them.”

“Mary and Rebecca, for example – they’re in every week, and Mary’s daughter comes in a lot these days too. Then there’s her teacher friend, Cathy – it’s nice to see them and have a joke between shifts.”

I even play bingo with them sometimes – not at the halls, that feels to much like work, but I’ll join up with them online – we spent a while finding the best bingo site, but now we all know to look out for each other in one of the 90 ball games. The callers can’t be doing their jobs properly though – I don’t win as often as the other girls! I did hit a big payout last year though, so that makes up for it I guess!”

I love my job, and I think I’d work as a CM for an online bingo site if the bingo halls closed. What other job can you meet so many interesting people, and make them happy when the right numbers come out?”
