As we hear of more and more online bingo ventures being rolled out it is starting to look very much like the online casino industry in its very early days. While people criticise and suggest that bingo cannot make the move from offline to online, this is exactly what they said about the casino industry. So will online bingo prove as successful as online casinos?
While there are very many similarities to the two industries they seem to attract very different audiences and customer bases. The casino industry seems to grab more than its fair share of high rollers who would look and feel very out of place on a bingo site or in a bingo hall. The bingo industry, while often associated with the older groups of society, has actually broken many barriers of late and attracted a wider range of young and old.
However, the important fact is that they seem to play for very different reasons with casino players liking the thrills and spills of pitting their wits against each other and bingo players becoming more involved in the bingo ‘society’ and experiencing a slower more sedate pace to the game.
That said, the online bingo market is making a few companies some very serious money!
