HOUSTON – Fans may know Valerie Bertinelli from some of our favorite sitcoms and sizzling recipes — but now she’s bringing her charm and wit to the world of bingo!
She’s hosting a new series on the Game Show Network called ‘Bingo Blitz,’ but this is not your parents bingo game.
With fast-paced rounds, wild mini-games, and a chance to win cash, cruises, this is bingo like you’ve never seen it before!
The half-hour show, based on the world’s most popular free to play bingo app, is the ultimate game of knowledge, strategy and luck where contestants answer trivia to earn bingo balls and points.
In addition to numbered bingo balls, players also receive gold balls they can strategically place on their cards to increase their chances of making a bingo. Bingos earn the players bonus points, and special ‘power-ups’ on the players’ cards earn them extra points, bingo balls and prizes.
After three rounds, the player with the highest score advances to the fast-action Blitz round, where making a bingo in 60 seconds or less awards them $10,000.
Watch as Lauren Kelly chats with Valerie all about her fun new gig as the host of ‘Bingo Blitz.’
