As online bingo numbers increase it seems the land bingo businesses are dropping. More and more people are logging on to play their favorite bingo game instead of walking down to the local bingo hall. One exception to this new trend is the Gala Bingo hall in Peterborough. More and more people are visiting the Peterborough bingo hall and the numbers are up 400%.

Many believe the reason so many people are visiting the bingo hall is because of the bingo games and the special offers. And of course the atmosphere has something to do with it as well. Business has been so well that the bingo hall has had to turn people away because they are filled to the brim with players.

In 2007 the bingo hall saw a dramatic drop in customers, only around 100 visiting, because of the smoking ban. Since then the club’s attendance has risen up 400%. This is an amazing increase in just two short years.

Management of the Peterborough club has stated that they believe promotions have led to the increase of people at the club as well as the current economy. Many people are playing bingo so they can drink and socialize with friends instead of going out on the town. The bingo hall is much cheaper and players have a chance to win money as well.
