The recession coupled with the smoking ban had a serious effect on the fortunes of the local bingo hall with more and more people deserting these traditional venues for our favourite game. However, the misfortune of the traditional bingo club worked in the favour of online bingo sites which have gone from strength to strength with more players registering daily.
There are some big names in the online bingo community, William Hill, Cashcade and 888 as some examples. Fresh out of the 888 Holdings group for 2010 is 888Bingo which is targeted towards a more male market and it looks set to be just as popular as its sister site. To coincide with the launch of 888Bingo, 888Ladies Bingo is currently running its biggest game ever, with a massive £5,000,000 jackpot up for grabs.
