Is the latest National Lottery TV ad more a comment on the end of an era or the ‘deeply offensive’ attack on the land-based bingo industry the UK’s Bingo Association says it is?

In the ad we see a little old lady whisked out of a dreary padlocked bingo hall onto some paradise-like beach because she is playing (and presumably winning with) the National Lottery’s Flamin’ Hot Bingo scratchcards.

I love it! Reminds me of some of the winners we have who play at the various online bingo halls you can find on Bingo Street. In fact, change Flamin’ Hot Bingo scratchcards for any number of online bingo halls and I think you have a pretty accurate picture of what’s going on in bingo in general.

You will not find one ‘dreary’ online bingo game or club on Bingo Street, but let’s face facts: Land-based bingo halls are becoming a pretty dreary lot due to the double tax and smoking bans they are fighting.

If I were the Bingo Association I would be pleased that someone has finally agreed with them that their industry is in a state.
