Session prices change between afternoons and evenings, and by day of the week. During the daytime, main books are currently £1.75 each, with a low-cost two-page early game available at 25p a book. If you want to add a bit more action, you can pick up Big Link tickets for 30p, Rainbow for £1, and both the Mini Link and National Game for £2 per ticket. There is also a Fun Flyer game on offer at £2 a ticket.
In the evenings the early books are priced at 50p each. Main session books cost £1.75 on Mondays, £2 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and £2.25 on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, so you can choose the night that best suits your budget.
On top of your main books, there are several optional evening add-ons. Rainbow is £1 a ticket, the 2-page link is 50p, and Golden Chance is sold at £1 for three tickets or £2 for six. Mini Link and the Fun Flyer are both £2 per ticket, and the National Game is once again £2 if you want to play for the bigger linked jackpots.
Prices can change from time to time, so it is always worth checking the latest tariff in the club before you buy your tickets.

About Rio Wisbech
Rio Bingo Wisbech is based in the historic Old Empire Theatre, a Grade II listed building that first opened its doors in 1932. Until 2025, the venue operated as Winners Bingo before relaunching under Rio Bingo. The club is open seven days a week, offering evening games every day and afternoon bingo on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. If you arrive before midday on those afternoons, you can also enjoy complimentary hot drinks to start your visit.
Membership is free, and it is quick to join on arrival. Just remember to bring some photo ID, as there is a strict 18+ policy. The auditorium is quite large and there is also space upstairs on the balcony, so there is always enough room for everyone. If you fancy a break from the bingo, you can enjoy a snack or a meal from the bar and buffet. They also have a few fruit machines that will keep you entertained before and after the bingo.
The club’s location on Blackfriars Road in the middle of town makes it easy to get to. There isn’t much in the way of parking on-site, however, the Horse Fair Shopping Centre car park is close by. You can park for up to 3 hours free of charge, up to 4 hours for 50p or stay all day for just £2. Charges only operate between 6 am and 6 pm Monday to Saturday, so if you come for the evening games, you won’t have to pay a penny. Public transport is also a good option, with all of the major routes including services to Three Holes, Benwick and Kings Lynn stopping at the Shopping Centre.
