The UK has build up flotilla of more than 100 bingo halls and 32 casinos since 1930’s, but are now in danger. Already, since the begining of 2007, 59 bingo clubs have been forced to close due to the unfair taxation system and new goverment policies.

Mecca Bingo is giving away two environmentally friendly energy saving light bulbs to its players in an effort to raise funds for the Whizz Kids charity.  Certainly an excellent cause and a good reason to go and play bingo.

From time to time this question hover in my mind, is not about playing bingo but being able to have a good time, socialize, meet your friends and enjoy your time.

Now a days that people are under pressure having to work a lot of hours and sometimes have to do two jobs do they really want to get dressed and go out? At this point technology comes to make things easier.

I did ask my friends if they would prefer to stay at home and play online bingo and i was surprised when they said yes, they recon that is much more fun, they can still talk to the friends plus they have more chances to win with less money. I never thought that I will play bingo online since I used to believe that Bingo is a community game.

I believe that less and less people will choose to continue visiting land based bingo halls. Especially now with the smoking ban around the world I can see people enjoying their freedom at home!
