In the last few years online bingo has undergone a major transformation and has seen unprecedented growth. Bingo is really becoming popular again! This is fantastic news for all bingo players and anyone involved in the bingo community.
This massive growth now allows players to play for much larger sums of money. The bingo sites themselves have also lowered their margins so a bigger percentage of money is paid back to the players. This can only be a good sign of things to come.
Over the past few years we have seen more and more massive winners and even several lucky millionaires.
In the UK alone, bingo companies bring in an estimated annual turnover of A�1.1 billion. Yes i said it, a billion pounds just from people playing bingo. The national game has been adopted in by troves of players around the country in both land and online.
Where will all of this end? We do not know. The sky is the limit as far as we are concerned.
During the 1970s bingo was growing at a massive rate. It was popular with all generations as a popular way to socialise, potentially win some money and without the risk of losing much.
In the 1990s bingo however collapsed. The game had an image problem; it was just old women that were seen to play bingo. The game was not cool anymore.
Fast forward to the new millennium and we have now seen a resurgence in bingo. Why is this you ask? Well, i think this is mostly because of a change in image. Bingo is now cool again. This is mostly due to the game being promoted vigorously by both by the land and online companies.
Each of the big companies now invests heavily in TV, radio, magazine and even newspaper ads. It seems like you can't go anywhere in the UK without seeing an advertisement for a bingo website or land room.
What is the future for bingo? Personally we don't know. The game seems ever popular at the moment. But if the image of the game changes and becomes "uncool" again then there is a possibility that bingo will start to lose popularity. This would be a very sad thing because the game is currently enjoyed by a large amount of people throughout the country and worldwide. Personally, we hope the boom continues forever. That way players will receive ever increasing bonuses, offers as well as huge jackpot prizes.
