Bingo’s Revival

In recent times bingo has undergone a renaissance and it looks set to continue in the future, which is exciting news to all bingo enthusiasts out there!
In the UK alone, bingo generates around £1.1 billion per annum, and that huge figure is destined to grow even more if bingos revitalisation continues at its current growth.
Bingo – Back From the Brink of Extinction
The height of bingos popularity came during the 1970’s. The land based bingo hall provided an inexpensive and pleasurable form of entertainment that allowed people to socialise and have a chance to win some serious money. Bingos popularity came to an abrupt end during the 1990’s, largely down to an unfashionable image which owed to the fact that hoards of OAP’s would occupy the bingo halls. Unlike the dodo, bingo has been saved from extinction when on its last legs.
This surge in popularity has been mainly down to Bingos emergence in the world of internet gambling, but also due to the vigorous and aggressive marketing campaigns executed by the bingo companies, as they attempt to reinvigorate the game by adapting and modernising some of the antiquated techniques used previously to market bingo to the masses. Even the land based bingo halls have moved toward advertising their websites instead of their now out-of-date bricks and mortar equivalent.
Who Benefit’s From Bingo’s resurgence?
The internet has changed the bingo industry for ever. Players can now access their favourite online bingo hall at the touch of a mouse in the comfort of their own home. What is interesting is that the majority of the players nowadays are female, seeking a sociable, lively and welcoming environment to play in. Chat rooms have become a focal point in the success story of online bingo as it means it adds a community feel to a game that can be played anywhere even when alone.
The online bingo scene will continue to flourish, and it really does seem like the sky’s the limit, but this can only mean that there will be more and more online bingo halls entering the market which will have a hugely positive effect on bingo players as the bonuses, promos and jackpots as well as the bingo experience will all vastly improve as all the different sites will be varying for the same players, so those who provide the best site and promos will gain more players and in turn more profit.

Did you know that …

... there are two types of bingo played around the world?

North America plays 75-ball bingo on a 5x5 card with the centre square usually marked 'free'. In the UK, parts of Europe, Australia and parts of South America they play a 90-ball game, marked on a 9x3 card. Both types of bingo are prominent online.

Unlike balls used in regular bingo halls, online bingo sites use a random number generator. The online bingo play works almost exactly like playing online poker or online casino games with everything being virtual. Most bingo halls also offer links to online poker and casino offerings. One notable feature of online bingo is the chat functionality that gives the opportunity to interact with other players.

Useful Tips

If you are going to try online bingo for the first time look for the best no deposit bingo and free bingo sites. Experience the game with the calm deriving from the awareness that you are not risking your own money, nevertheless you can win some good bucks.

Progressive jackpot bingo games offer high value cash prizes. The jackpot is accumulated over a period of time, often taken from payments made to play smaller games. Usually as each new card pattern emerges, the pattern will have a number defining the amount of calls needed to claim the Jackpot. If players obtain a Bingo in this amount of calls or less then they will win the Progressive Jackpot. But rules are different for the different online bingo halls, so check before playing.
