Typically when you think of Bingo you think of old men and women in a run down hall, somewhere in the Welsh Valleys drinking sherry, but not anymore, its all changing since the launch of Bingo online. The mass popularity of smart phones and tablets has seen a new wave of people playing bingo. iPad bingo is one of the most popular games

Online bingo has come on leaps and bounds in recent years as a result of the mobile boom and regardless of where you are in the world you can download apps, put in your details and start playing. This is now what most Bingo companies are channeling their time and money into, to keep ahead of the rest of the competition and gain as many new and returning customers as possible and you can get the latest information about bingo on portable devices at tablet-bingo.com.

The Numbers:

Mobile Bingo is an ever-increasing market, and mobile gaming is expected to take up 30% of the market in 2015, and not only this but also by 2015 tablets are looking at revenue of $100 billion and a massive 67% of tablet owners now use it for gaming. This is a market that shows no indication of slowing down, and so it is no surprise that companies like Apple and Android are coming up with new, portable technology to maximize gameplay.
 
Accessibility:

Now that you can have 3G on your smartphone it means that you can use the Internet wherever you are so that you can now play bingo while on the bus, in your break at work or even while climbing Ben Nevis. As well as this the new Ipad mini is only 7” in diametre meaning that you could probably fit it in a reasonably large trouser pocket, and now that the competition is heating up between companies it wouldn’t be surprising if others like Samsung and Microsoft followed in the same way.

You can tell that online bingo is on the rise as at the latest bingo summit (their 8th overall) the names that were there included Google, Facebook, Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and many more huge companies. There would not be this attraction to bingo if something wasn’t changing in it, the notion that it is now becoming one of the most popular betting games, is leading to everybody wanting a slice.

Really, the main thing about playing bingo online and on the move is that it is just a bit of fun, putting down some low stakes can give you some quite nice wins in return, which makes it an ideal pass-time that can be quite beneficial. It is something to you can do when on a long journey, be it on a train, bus or in the car (provided you’re not driving). 

Bingo is no longer the game of the older generation who want a bit of a laugh on a night out but it’s a game for everyone whether playing for fun or to win money, really big money. And on that final thought, imagine placing a 30p bet on a wheel of fortune games and winning £5.8 million. Well, back in December 2012 that’s exactly what happened to John Orchard. Huge jackpot prizes are enticing a new wave of bingo players from all generations and the industry has no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
