Smoking Ban may not have the expected impact reports www.bingoscotland.com

The top online bingo operators have been speculating recently over how the smoking ban will affect the bingo industry. Most of the big online bingo sites such as Jackpot Joy, Mecca and Gala bingo have all predicted that they will see a seach in their online reveune as players turn to the internet to play bingo, rather than playing down the local bingo club, so that they can have a smoke whilst they are waiting for the bingo calls. Bingo Scotland however have actual data from their site, being the biggest online bingo site in Scotland. They say that they haven't seen a significant rise since the ban in Scotland was introduced and that there is no reason that there will be a surge in online bingo here in the UK. Added to that the ban will come into force this summer, and summer time is always a quieter time for online bingo as players would rather be outside enjoying the weather than cooped up inside. This and the fact that alot of players who frequent the clubs are quite elderly (and might not even have internet connection) means that maybe the hype won't be realised. Bingo Scotland is the largest online bingo site in Scotland and prides itself in catering to the Scottish market, with bespoker promotions and chat room moderators who are Scottish.
