Due to the rapid growth of online bingo the future of bingo halls looks to say the least bleak. Hundreds have closed during the last year and more closures are expected in the year ahead.  Playing bingo live can be a very expensive experience. Not only do you have to travel to the hall but once you get there you have the extra cost of buying food and drinks. Add to this the actual rake is higher in bingo halls due to the fact that the bingo hall has many expenses and in real terms you get less for your money. On the whole you never get more than a few hundred in a bingo hall so the actual main jackpot is restricted.

Play online bingo is simply much less expensive. If you win a major online bingo game you have the chance of winning up to hundreds of thousands compared to a few thousand at most if playing in a bingo hall. Online bingo also offers a greater range of games compared to bingo halls that are restricted to bingo and a few slot machines. For example you can now play deal or no deal online on many sites for fun or even for real money. This follows the trend of other game shows that have also migrated to the internet.

If you want to try online bingo then I would recommend you try Virgin. Both Virgin Bingo and Virgin Casino have had solid growth over the last 2 years. Virgin Gaming looks to have a great future in the years ahead. Virgin are offering UK players an amazing £100 free. They also give all their players a free scratch card every day plus they have countless redeposit schemes that only require you to deposit a few pounds. Once you have signed up you can even use your funds at Virgin Casino with the same login details which means you have hundreds more games you can play.
