Whether you prefer to play bingo online, at a land-based venue or a combination of the two, there are plenty of options for where to find and enjoy this classic game. In the United Kingdom, there are around 600 premises where bingo can be played and although these numbers are decreasing there are still a number of great bingo venues in and around Bath. 

The popularity of bingo in the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, bingo has been around for decades and became hugely popular in the 1960’s. Following updates to betting and gambling laws, licenced venues began to spring up in most towns and cities around the country.

By the 1980s there were over 1600 commercial bingo venues. However, as options for evening entertainment increased and the internet became accessible to most households, offline bingo began to decline. 

Many young people still opt to visit land-based bingo halls

While the stereotypical image of a bingo player may be that of an older woman, in actual fact people of all ages and genders are fans of the game. There are many more young bingo players than people might expect.

But why are bingo halls popular with younger people? One compelling reason is the social aspect of the experience, players can meet with their friends and enjoy having fun and socialising while they play.

Bingo halls are good for all-around entertainment, they have music and other casino type games, as well as a bar and provision of food. There are not many other places where you can enjoy all of these things under one roof.

Party themed bingo nights have helped attract a younger audience to a game of land based bingo.
