7:51Now Playing"Can I ask you where you got the money to play bingo with - was it from the housekeeping?"
Mary Marquis reports from Glasgow, on a new kind of prize bingo, where players compete for household groceries. Understandably, it is proving extremely popular with housewives - but is it exploitative? Marquis speaks to the manager of one of the city's most popular Bingo parlours, Stanley Clarke.
