The trend of bingo hall closures and the rise of online bingo is not just a UK phenomenon it is happening in other countries too such as Spain.
It was slow to catch on at first but improved broadband connections, increased levels of player security and a fun Spanish-style party atmosphere has seen increasing numbers of Spaniards going online to play bingo. In fact, Spain is the fastest growing online bingo market in the EU at the moment.
90 percent of online bingo players in Spain use the chat rooms with many of the sites offering chat room games, allowing you to share photos and offer suitable prizes to reflect the Spanish culture. The websites are designed in typical Spanish style with bright colours, flashing lights and graphics.
What may come as a surprise is that more Spanish men play bingo than the women.
For British holidaymakers and expats though, offline bingo is still well catered for in the holiday resorts such as Benidorm, with bars and hotels hosting regular bingo competitions.
