Bingo! That’s a Record
Gulfport Seniors Help Nab Guinness Title By Abby Baker
CITY OF GULFPORT
Bingo players from Gulfport’s Multipurpose Senior Center participated in the Guinness World Record title for the “most viewers of a Bingo livestream on a bespoke platform” on Friday, October 22 at the Gulfport Casino. A mouthful, the world record was successfully claimed with viewers clicking in from behind the screen
from across 26 states at over 125 locations. The record-setting event was put on by Televeda, an active aging online platform. The organization is still putting together a final head count. On Friday, Gulfport’s participants piled into the Casino Ballroom, where seniors sat through several
test events and even a 30-minute pre-record-setting shut down at the host center that threw Televeda staff into a tech frenzy. “We’ll be honest: It was stressful. But the show must go on. We improvised. Switched around the location, laptops, host and a lot more behind the scenes,” Televeda wrote in a press release.
