The hall in Windsor was formerly known as the Bingo Rama Palace and was located on Dufferin Avenue.

The fire allegedly started in the electrical room of the building but the damage of the blaze is still relativley unknown. Firefighters battled the fire which broke out on Saturday, and had to remove part of the patio roof to beat the fire. Thankfully no one was hurt in the blaze.

The rise of online bingo forced several land based hall to shut. Other regulars were forced out because of the smoking ban introduced to all public areas last year. The online market is now believed to be worth around £600 million and is rapidly growing, with player numbers doubling in a year.

However, with the rapid growth of online Bingo companies, more males are participating in games. The online gambling market has attracted millions of players some who would never of played Bingo before, many of these are males who traditionally stick to playing poker and casino games.

Sveabingo.com claims 40% of their users are now male. Many believe men are being attracted to the game due to the relaxed atmosphere, prizes on offer and features online bingo sites provide. Sveabingo.com is a leading bingo site in Sweden, and has adopted an image of Swedish national colours. Many online bingo sites only target females, using bright colours as well as offering special feminine prizes such as spa days and shopping spree trips.

“The relaxed atmosphere in our bingo chatrooms also seem to attract more and more men, probably because it’s very different from what they are used to in their preferred poker rooms.” says Börje Hansson of Sveabingo.com

The prizes in Bingo are just as large as poker and casino, and more players are therefore turning to online bingo, in a bid to win big. Sevabingo.com’s promotions are also suited for male players, as they can win  SuperPresentkort voucher’s which can be spent on F1 tickets, flying lesson’s and several other masculine prizes.
