There has been some evidence that the land based bingo clubs are fighting hard to get past the economic slump that seems to be happening everywhere. If the uk bingo clubs can beat this tough time, this is a good indication that there isn’t anything that cannot be overcome by them. The adversity that they face goes far beyond simply the economy. The clubs have been dealing with a smoking ban, the loss of some of the jackpot machines in the clubs, double taxation and a variety of other things that have caused a really tough economic time for them. Some of these things have caused bingo clubs to close and the effect that this has in the community where these clubs are located have been devastating.

To combat the problems that they face, some of the land based bingo clubs have been looking for innovative ways to keep their businesses alive. Gala Bingo, for instance, has been working on the testing of their outdoor smoking areas that use technology to help the situation. The tests have been going on for months and some of the early indications are that people love the idea. If you have visited Gala Bingo lately, you know that they are celebrating the eightieth birthday of bingo.

The celebration of the eightieth birthday of bingo on Gala Bingo has prompted some events to take place in the land based bingo clubs. There is a high 5 rollover game and the use of handheld devices that are called Gala Wiz. The Gala Wizard is making an appearance in many of the bingo clubs as players are able to play traditional bingo with the devices as well as many of the other games that are available with Gala Bingo.

Mecca Bingo is getting in on the fight as well. They have launched a brand new campaign that is looking for the bingo buddies of the year for 2009. This is a great celebration of the friends that are made in many of the online and land based bingo sites. The land based locations will be holding a “bring a friend” event on January 18th and the friends will get in free of charge. Then on January 28th there will be a half price sale where the ticket prices on Mecca Bingo will be… half the price. Of course, rest assured that the prizes that are won will not be slashed in half during this event.
