The Good the Bad and the Ugly Side of Bingo

The advantages of Bingo are huge, not only for the millions of online players in both the UK and the USA, but for the poor and needy out there as well. Traditionally Bingo, and gambling for that matter, has been used to raise funds for needy causes, university scholarship funds and even churches.

Bingo helps beat rising unemployment

Online Bingo has also created an enormous amount of jobs and is consequently partly responsible for lowering the ever-worrying unemployment rate both here, in the UK, and in the US. With current economic woes dealing many business sectors veritable body blows, anything that can help improve fiscal conditions has to be a good thing!

It was estimated that possible revenue from the online Bingo sector in a small town in Alabama could be in the region of over $20 million per annum, and that’s certainly not to be sneezed at in this time when the developed world is arguably slipping towards an inevitable recession. It was also suggested that more than 2500 jobs could be created as well!

Bingo burglars busted

On the flip side, Bingo has also created its fair share of rampant criminals. In 2006 a former American cop was put behind bars for stealing $2,000 from his local Bingo hall. The man had incurred massive debt playing Bingo and couldn’t resist the temptation of putting his hands in the cookie jar!

If you thought that was bad, what about local lass, Sandra Preston, who has recently been convicted for stealing over £60,000 from her employer. She became totally mesmerised by Bingo but to such an extent that she gambled away all her savings and then had to resort to crime to keep her addiction well fed!

Bingo keeps the brain sharp

Bingo has even helped fight the unenviable mental signs of old age, like Alzheimer’s disease! Studies conducted at a leading British University has proved that avid Bingo players, regardless of their advanced age, were faster and more accurate on tests measuring mental speed, the ability to scan quickly for information and memory, than their non-playing counterparts!

Celebrities put their considerable weight behind bingo

The days of the old ladies with bad hairdos dominating the Bingo halls are definitely a thing of the past. Nowadays it is the young and glamorous who are swooping to the cyber Bingo halls with abandon.

Catherine Zeta Jones would probably never have made it in Hollywood, or become the second Mrs Michael Douglas, had her dad not won £100,000 at Bingo. The much needed loot was used to send the gorgeous Ms Jones to acting school!

Catherine, by her own admission, is still hooked on Bingo and is often seen lending a hand at Bingo charity events along with a glittering array of other stars including Jennifer Arniston, Robbie Williams and Pamela Anderson!
