Bingo - a growth industry in times of trouble?
It has to be said that well know facts such as ‘retail struggles in recession’ and ‘restaurants get less of the disposable income in hard times’ is all the rage in the prepares at the moment as the media tries to scare the daylights out of us in terms of how badly the economy is doing and how long it will last. I’m not sure if the media is intent on scaring the hell out of us so that we spend less and try to pay back some debt, or if it really believes that it’s warning us to a valid and relevant issue.
Well, the good news is that Bingo is doing better than OK. In fact, online Bingo is BOOMING. It’s been said that in times of trouble, the companies that fair the worst initially are the entertainment companies. Normally that’s true, and it’s true in the Casino and Poker side this time as well.
The thing about both of those forms of entertainment is that the stakes can be rather large, if you want them to. That means that if you are worried about hard times, you probably want to decrease your ‘flutter’ and increase your debt repayment. So your Casino play suffers.
With Bingo, it doesn’t really touch sides. Many of the online bingo sites have 1p tickets, which means if you pay £1, you’d be playing for 400 minutes or more (which works out to 6 and a half hours). Is that not value for money? Where else can you get that type of value for money for £1?
Go on, find me another value for money activity like that, and email me!
