Essentially he says that he found the game was not fun, and found it easy to understand why bingo clubs in the UK were closing down, and he called it an “every man for himself betting frenzy.” I find it hard to believe that this young man had such a bad experience at a bingo club. He does not mention which bingo club it was so they are not even able to make a rebuttal. He obviously doesn’t understand the dynamics of bingo and the socially interactive outlet the game allows many people.

I would like to state categorically that in the UK bingo is not “simply faceless gambling” and I hope that this young man reads this, perhaps he should give online bingo a try and see how he likes that!

The former bingo hall and cinema is being surveyed in advance of a controversial planning application to replace it with a development called the New Victoria Place scheme. The planning application include replacing the old bingo club building with a £55 million plan for offices, apartments and a hotel, thes in themselves required the old bingo club to be taken down.

It was also found that the building contained enough asbestos to be able to cause a serious health threat, and this is in essence another reason why plans to save the building were turned down.
