According to UK Net Guide, thanks to the web, more and more younger people have taken up the pastime.

Traditionally seen as a game for mature ladies, the news provider observed there has been something of a cultural change in recent years, with an increasing amount of young females willing to have a go and try to hit the bingo jackpot.

Online bingo is now threatening to dwarf land-based options in terms of popularity and the source added: “Gone are the days of traipsing down to the local bingo hall to join the throngs of silver rinses to get your bingo fix.”

While it remarked people may have been sceptical about bingo games on the internet, the improved social aspect of it means they are being won over.

Ladies are now having bingo parties where they invite their friends around and they all get involved in the pastime together.

The experience of visiting a bingo hall has been documented in a new book called Bingo & Social Club.
