The complex is the company's first new build in nearly a decade and promises to transform the traditional game in a venue in what bosses are touting as an innovative design and layout.

The site provides ‘two ways to play’ the same bingo game, the brand new venue will be fully equipped with a ‘Bingo pub’ area, where more rowdy players can enjoy the game without having to keep the noise down and a separate, 500 seat Bingo Club with sound proof glass for the more traditional quieter players.

There is also a vibrant arcade full of the latest slot machines, pub style food and an outdoor bingo garden providing a relaxed environment for those wanting to play in the fresh air and for smokers.

Le Tiss will be be joined by Southampton Itchen MP Royston Smith, on the launch night which features an evening of in-house entertainment with street artists and cabaret acts.

Ian Pritchard, general manager of Gala Bingo Antelope Park, Southampton, said: “This is the first new build Gala Bingo club to launch in nine years and we’ve already witnessed a huge interest from newly registered customers.

"As the game of bingo ventures into a new realm and long gone are the days of one bingo hall with the traditional calling, Gala Bingo Antelope Park leads by example as a modern day bingo venue.

"We are delighted to have Matt Le Tissier on board to celebrate the opening of the club and show his support for the new venue. We’re very much looking forward to opening the doors and showing customers these great facilities for the first time.”

People can indulge in a glass of Bucks Fizz on arrival with bingo sessions running until late with over £4,000 of prize money up for grabs. To top all of this, one lucky member is guaranteed to win a brand new Peugeot car or £5,000 in cash.
