It looks like there is simply no stopping the online bingo boom. Not even the depressing economic slowdown can stop the online bingo boom express train. UK and European online bingo operators such as Jackpotjoy Bingo are yet again reporting strong growth for 2009 with suggestions of extend future growth during the next few years.
Most analysts believed the current economic slowdown would severely dampen the strong growth in the gambling sector. From the data received to date this though has simply not been the case. Gambling operators have reported reduced earnings in the poker sector but online casinos such as 32Red Casino and the online bingo sectors have continued strong.
Many believe that the economic slowdown has actually helped the growth of online bingo. Bingo players who want to play can do so far cheaply online compared to bingo halls. Also the jackpots online are far superior than those offered in local bingo halls. Most also believe the UK smoking ban has damaged live bingo.
The future for live bingo does not look bright. The live bingo scene though does seem to have problems. Bingo halls have been hit hard during the last couple of years with many throughout the UK closing their doors. It seems we are seeing a major switch in bingo player’s habits with many now preferring playing online.
