Christmas comes early to Betfred Bingo

You know when Christmas is not too far off when online bingo game sites start popping up with Christmas promotions for you to take part in. With just over 8 weeks to go now before Christmas is here Betfred Bingo thought that they would come up with something to get you in the mood to the tune of £1,000 cash! This promotion will see one of their lucky bingo players pick up this great cash prize just in time for Christmas.

This promotion will be running between now and 20th December at Betfred Bingo and to be in with a chance to win the £1,000 cash prize that is up for grabs, it is all about play bingo games at their site to get yourselves into the grand prize draw. For every 1,000 tickets purchased at their bingo site between this period will give you one entry into the draw, so if you was to purchase 2,000 bingo tickets you would have 2 entries in the prize draw and so on.

When you play 1p online bingo games it is not hard to clock up on those UK bingo game tickets and this promotion is running in both their 90 ball and 75 ball bingo rooms, which means all the Betfred Bingo players should have a fair chance of getting into the draw. The lucky winner win be announced on 21st December and the £1,000 cash prize will be with them just in time for when the festive season to begins.

We have seen a few changes taking place around Betfred Bingo lately and one of these fundamental changes was the increase in their free sign up no deposit bonus offer. A few weeks ago Betfred Bingo took the decision to increase this offer from £5 up to £15, so all new players that register at their bingo site can expect to get £15 worth of free bingo games play, before they deposit any funds into their account.

The second important change that has taken place here was the increase in all deposits made at their online bingo game site. Betfred Bingo used to run “Wealthy Wednesday’s” whereby they doubled their deposit bonus from 25% to 50% on all deposits made on a Wednesday. This however no longer takes place at their bingo site because no matter when you make a deposit at Betfred Bingo now it will be met with a 50% bingo bonus each and every time, increasing your online bingo play no end.

Mecca Bingo Battle On

Mecca Bingo are certainly battling on against adversity and for once there seems to have been some good news on the horizon for the Rank Group. They have just reported that revenues are up and so are their shares after they hit an all time low of 52 pence last week. Our land based bingo clubs have took a battering over the past few years with the smoking ban coming into effect, the grossly unfair double taxation law and to top it all the change in the gambling act that see hundreds of gaming machines being removed from bingo halls up and down the UK.

Some leniency by the UK government regarding gaming machines has a bit of a knock on affect on the Rank Group as they were granted licenses for 83 adult gaming centres and 64 of these have already been implemented within their bingo halls and in there online UK bingo portals.

Mecca Bingo may have seen a 5% drop in bingo players passing through their doors, but their like for like revenue grew by 2% and it is estimated that per head players are now spending 8% more than they used to. This in effect is how their revenues are up even though player numbers are lower. The Rank group as a whole have also been making some cost effective changes throughout their company and we have seen new food initiatives taking place in their land based bingo halls, like the introduction of Costa Coffee outlets inside their clubs.

The economy as we know is not in a pretty state at the moment and the Rank Group acknowledged that the economic outlook in the short term remains uncertain, but their long term long term outlook on growth and potential remained positive. The Rank group recently won a land mark victory against HM Revenue and Customs, when a tribunal ruled in their favour regarding duties and VAT that they paid on interval bingo game. The benefit to their company is said to be in the region of £6 million pounds, but the HM Revenues and Customs service have appealed against this decision and this case is now expected to come before the high court in March 2009.

With so much turbulence taking place throughout the financial sectors over the past few weeks in bingo online sites and in land based bingo hall, this was good news coming out of the Mecca Bingo camp.

NJ Casino Smoking Ban in Question

Atlantic City May postpone or cancel the ban on smoking in casinos scheduled to begin on October 15th.

In just over a week the casinos in Atlantic City are supposed to go 100 percent smoke free, but the ban may be temporarily on hold according to resent speculations.

The Atlantic City city council will be discussing if the ban on smoking is a good move right now with the casinos already losing money every month due to the poor economy.

The current law allows for smoking on no more then 25 percent of the casino floor, but many non smoking patrons and workers rights groups complain because the smoke does not know to not go into the rest of the casino and players and casino employees are forced to breath in second hand smoke.

The casinos are arguing that if this law is allowed to go into effect then a large group of its patrons will head to casinos in Pennsylvania or Connecticut where smoking is still allowed in the casino.

New Jersey uses the taxes from the casinos for schools, and many social programs that may be affected negatively by this ban on smoking.

The meeting is due to take place today, and many hope they will be able to announce their decision by the end of the day.
