The refurbishment has resulted in 22 new jobs in the town and the transformed hall is now offering a variety of modern twists on the game in a bid to attract younger customers, such as glow-in-the-dark and rock-and-roll bingo.

MP Adrian Bailey and the deputy leader of Sandwell Council Mahboob Hussain were among the VIP guests last night.
