Online bingo has boomed in Britain, with thousands of people logging on every day to play bingo online. It has been estimated that a whopping 3 million people per year are playing bingo online in the UK alone and that figure is increasing by the day with massive jackpots and fantastic prizes up for grabs. 888 Ladies as one of the biggest online bingo providers in the UK is proud to be a part of such a popular industry, we’ve made loads of new bingo buddies recently!
Bingo has become something of a national treasure in the UK and the 888 Ladies have heard it’s ridiculously popular in Spain too – they’re bingo bonkers too! The latest country to take a bite at the bingo bait is France; its government are keen to get their country into online bingo too! Proposals by the French government have started to get under way for opening up private online bingo operators to its country by midway through 2009.
The traditional game of bingo has been played in France since the early 1800’s, where nobility would play a game of ‘le Lotto’. Le Lotto required players only to complete horizontal rows of numbers. Nowadays, bingo is enjoyed in France in the same way as it always has been in Britain, but they are yet to experience the brilliance of online bingo in the way that the 888 Ladies do it!
It is expected that the bingo boom seen in the UK will be mirrored in France, with French people getting involved in the activity as regularly as UK residents. Soon the French will be shouting : ‘J’adore le bingo!’
