TOP TEN HAS EXPANSION IN SIGHT
05/07/2006While online bingo grows in popularity, partly due to the smoking ban, some independent clubs are struggling to pull in players and it is these clubs that Top Ten could start looking to acquire, the Guardian reports.
The organisation's chairman, Sir Aubrey Brocklebank, told the paper: "The industry grew out of people converting cinemas. So the format tended to follow a cinema format.
"You paid an entrance fee, had a bit of a pre-run and an interval, and then the main feature. We can be flexible, we can have shorter sessions or longer sessions."
And it is this flexible approach that is helping to boost the image of bingo as a game that everyone, not just older people, can enjoy.
The Bingo Association's Steven Baldwin says people are playing with friends as a "shared experience" and that it is all the more appealing as "you've got the possibility you could walk out substantially richer".
