Land and net based bingo halls are enjoying record-breaking participation increases as statistics report a surge in people deciding to play online bingo. It seems that expectations regarding online bingo interfering with land based bingo halls were woefully incorrect and that the opposite is taking place. This can most likely be attributed to new players becoming engaged in the game from the comfort of their own home and wanting to display their new skills in the traditional halls.

Where once new players may have been slightly put off by starting a new game in front of hundreds of strangers, and not doing particularly well, the ability to practise and win at home has instead boosted confidence levels. This is clearly impacting the number of these young new players which are now prepared to pit their acquired skills against older, more traditional ones.

In the past prospective new players would have to make do with reading a bingo review or two in order to get up to par before attending a land based hall. As it turns out, the relationship between land and net based halls has become symbiotic rather than competitive as the influx of new players are prepared to play in either fashion and seem to enjoy a combination of both styles.

Another reason for the increase of interest from people wanting to play online bingo is clearly the social age group involved, mainly those under 30 who enjoy the social aspect in the chat rooms.
