National Bingo Night (also known as National Bingo! Night) was based on the short-lived U.S. format of the same name, although this version didn't fare any better here. Each week there was a contestant and a studio audience plus the "at-home" viewers trying to win money.

Gameplay

The contestant played for $50,000 while each member of the studio audience played for $5,000. The first to get bingo won the money; if someone in the audience got bingo before the contestant does, then the audience member won the cash while the contestant won nothing.

The show has many different types of games, which included the following:

  • Bingo 500 – This game involved contestants aiming to have all their bingo balls add up to 500. In this game, the contestant had to guess whether the next ball is higher or lower than the last ball drawn out. The player's first guess was higher or lower than their age.
  • Showroom Challenge – This game involved contestants trying to have all the numbers on the bingo balls pulled out appear on the price of their new Jeep. This game was only been played once and was replaced by Win the VIN. The player had to guess whether the next ball is higher or lower than the last ball drawn out. The player's first guess was higher or lower than their age.
  • Bingo Gold Card – This game involved contestants trying to match the numbers that appeared on a Bingo Gold Card.
  • Win the VIN – This game involved contestants trying to have all the numbers on the bingo balls pulled out appear on the VIN of their new Jeep.
  • Time Flies – This game involved players trying to make, like Bingo 500, all the numbers on the bingo balls pulled out add up to 365. In this game, the player guessed whether the next ball was black or red.
  • Around the World – This game involved the contestant trying to make 9 correct guesses to win $50,000 worth of travel.
  • Money Bags – This game involved the contestant trying to have all numbers on the bingo balls drawn to appear on the serial number of their hundred-dollar note.
