2020 has been an extraordinary year for the entire globe, but not in a positive way. The COVID19 pandemic has seen millions of people all over the world being locked down in their homes for months at a time and this has had negative effects on physical health, mental health and the economy.
The Importance Of Escapism
During these testing times, the need for escapist entertainment has increased and the gambling industry has been one of the few to actually be boosted by the pandemic. Admittedly, some sectors have suffered such as betting shops, land-based casinos, bingo halls and bingo bars, but many of these have been protected by the online presence they all have. With so many people stuck in doors and many entertainment venues temporarily shut down, online gambling has experienced yet another surge in popularity. Gambling of all types has increased since the lock down and this is why the media is awash with casino and bingo games site adverts offering advice on responsible gambling, as it is very easy to get carried away when you are trying to kill time, or escape from the harshness of reality.
Bingo In 2020
There has been a recent resurgence in the popularity of land-based bingo in the early part of 2020 that has unfortunately been thwarted by the pandemic. The revamping of old style bingo halls, which have become more vibrant places to visit, has mostly fueled this. They also now target a younger audience who want to be served up more than just bingo on a night out. Bingo is still the main attraction, but you can also expect music, dancing, food and alcohol to accompany bingo games. Rave bingo concentrates more on creating a nightclub vibe to your bingo experience and again, this has appealed most to a young female audience. This trend of bingo served with other entertainment, seems to be the future of land-based bingo and the popularity shown in early 2020 means that these venues will fight back strongly once the pandemic is over.
Bingo Online
Online bingo is still the number one choice of how women prefer to play bingo in 2020. The game really took off in 2003 online and remains popular to this day. The availability and accessibility of online bingo is a major player in the success of the game and it is also available 24/7. Women can play bingo in the safety of their own homes or on the move courtesy of mobile bingo sites. With so many women owning a smartphone, mobile bingo has really taken off. In fact, some sites have more mobile players than desktop players. Smartphones allow you to play bingo whilst commuting to and from work and if you need to kill times whilst waiting for an appointment, then bingo can help make time fly.
Final Thoughts
For now, in pandemic hit 2020, women will have to make do with online bingo, until it is safe for the revamped land-based venues to re-open.
