Scottish Bingo Players Get Online

Pubs, restaurants and entertainment premises in Scotland all suffering at the hands of the new Scottish smoking ban, but there is one industry that is rejoicing at the new law and that is Online Bingo sites, UK Bingo sites have seen a 400 per cent rise in the number of Scottish players who have joined recently, as the Scottish players take up the opportunity to play at a venue where they can still smok, and that is online line in there own home!.
Since the ban came into effect some months ago, five Scottish bingo halls have been forced to close after operators saw takings drop by over a 25% as Bingo players were forced to obey the new no-smoking rules.
A spokesman from BingoScotland.com, a Mr Dylan Schosberg said, 'When the smoking ban started, we didn’t imagine our membership would increase so rapidly. But as players have the freedom to smoke when they play online in the comfort of their own home, it makes sense that bingo websites have become even more popular.'
An Edinburgh smoking bingo player a Mrs Jeanette Clunie aged 38 and who has just recently converted to playing Bingo online, said, 'I think online bingo is definitely on the up and through time, bingo halls will be a thing of the past. I personally wouldn’t use bingo halls now you can’t smoke in them and haven’t done since the ban.'
