Bingo

Bingo is a popular gambling game which has been played all around the world for many years. It is most popular in the UK, but is also played by many people in the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. In recent years the popularity of bingo in the UK waned somewhat, however it is currently enjoying a resurgence which can be put down to the massive success of online bingo which is attracting more people to try their hands at a traditional game in the bingo halls.

In the UK bingo has long been associated with seaside resorts such as Blackpool, where the game can be played at a number of halls, and was often thought to the reserve of elderly women. Many people cite these as reasons why bingo became so out of vogue, however many of the companies that run bingo halls up and down the country are promoting their service with adverts that actively target the younger generation. Although these companies are having a fairly high level of success in attracting younger customers there is no denying that bingo is predominately enjoyed by women and there are very few male players. The same goes for online bingo where it is report over 90% of the players are female. The two largest operators of bingo halls in the UK are Gala and Mecca. These two companies run hundreds of bingo halls up and down the country which are frequented by thousands of players every day.
