Brands - Buzz Bingo suggestion

Posted by UKChris on 30 December 2019 in English.

I’m starting to get my head around using the brand tag where available, and find the iD pre-suggestions helpful, but I’m not quite sure about suggesting brands that are currently missing from the list.

I’ve found the details for the brand “Buzz Bingo”, and applied it to one branch within Plymouth (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/725888265), but naturally having this as a pre-selection would be helpful, as they seem to have quite a few branches scattered around the UK.

I think the suggestion data would look something like this:

“amenity/casino|Buzz Bingo”: { “countryCodes”: [“gb”], “tags”: { “brand”: “Buzz Bingo”, “brand:wikidata”: “Q60746117”, “brand:wikipedia”: “en:Buzz Bingo”, “name”: “Buzz Bingo”, “amenity”: “casino” } }

… and would go within the “casino.json” file, but I’m not sure about adding this to the github dataset, as I don’t want to fluff anything up. I’m also not entirely sure if “casino” is the correct way to tag a bingo hall?

Is there any more brand experienced mappers who can either guide me in the right direction to learn more, or who could add the above to the correct location?

I think the gambling amenity is used instead of a casino (which it is not)

I think it would be best if you posted this on the Name Suggestion Index’s github

Even with just the information you’ve posted here someone might be able to add it to the NSI for you.

Though at the moment there’s only 9 instances of amenity=gambling names containing the word Buzz in the UK. Probably some other bingo hall brands are more popular.
