A recent conference in the US highlighted the potential for growth in the online bingo industry in the wake of the US government’s ban on online gambling.
In particular, the search for new markets, chiefly in the UK bingo market, was seen to be a major future trend in the gaming industry.
While the interactive gaming industry reels from the impact of the new US prohibition, gaming businesses are looking to capitalize on new areas of growth. Two segments at the forefront of this discussion are games of skill and online bingo games - both focal points in Vancouver as part of River City Group’s I-Gaming In-Depth series of conferences.
The online bingo business expected to benefit from the game’s international appeal and consequent growth potential in non-US markets, such as the UK where it is estimated there are 3.5 million players. Major online bingo portals such as BingoStreet.com have seen a huge growth in traffic through their sites by players looking fornew online bingo halls.
Bingo Street is clearly set on becoming the internets one-stop guide to the best online bingo games in the UK. The website is crammed with all the information UK online bingo players will need with detailed recommendations of the best websites out there. To help players keep up with the play, the site offers a guide to bingo lingo, the latest news from the online bingo world and all the best online bingo game promotions available.
Following on the success of last year’s Skill Games conference in Las Vegas, River City Group is adding bingo to the mix with co-located conferences catering to professionals in these two very important gaming niches. The “Casual Games” conference focuses on how to build and monetize online bingo gaming communities as well as where the real opportunities lie. Action games, thinking games, fantasy sports and other core products will be discussed from perspectives covering legal and regulatory clarification, marketing, global strategies and business models.
Bingo game operators have spoken, and it seems River City Group listened. The conference company pulled together folks who offer bingo games online to discuss the legalities, software developments, marketing and community-building issues. In a time when the industry seems besieged by government policies with every way, the Vancouver conference was a welcome chance to forge a future for the benefit of bingo players worldwide.
