Is Bingo as popular as Poker?

Played offline there has never really been much comparison as Bingo halls around the world are always full and with an estimated 4 million Bingo players in the UK and Ireland alone, it is truly is the favoured pastime.

But, what about online??

Well according to Search Engine giant Google it is very close, with recent figures compiled by Google show online bingo as almost even with poker in popularity.

With a recent increase in the number of online Bingo players, some hard line Poker enthusiast put this down to the recently passed smoking bans and the downturn in the global economy, which has many looking for inexpensive entertainment. One Poker expert suggested “the search for easy to have large jackpots and perks offered to new internet bingo players is staggering and one that the Poker industry can't compete with”.

Google search experts puts the popularity down to online bingo's straightforward and easy to play approach. They also observed that unlike poker online bingo players do not need to wager major amounts of money as cards can be bought for as little as 1p per game. In truth, Bingo offers a platform that is easy to use, popular among every age group and gender and most importantly can be played while surfing the net. The player doesn't even need to call “Bingo” thanks to the new auto play.

Due to the presence of so many bingo operators, competition is intense forcing bingo sites to offer more and more benefits, bingo bonuses, 24 hour support and chat rooms that enable players to meet and interact all add up to ensure loyalty and traffic.

Online Bingo has managed to create an atmosphere that is very close to that of the live offline Bingo halls. It still is a game that offers social interaction and a great sense of community, but, the wide offerings and the quality of the service are the main reasons of the increasing popularity.
