Juxtaposed with Online Casinos Bingo
Looking at the success of the online casinos bingo gambling industry may lead
many to falsely believe that the land bingo sector is doing just as well…in fact
the opposite is actually true. The land bingo operators in the UK are suffering
right now because of legislation that now burdens land bingo gamblers with
double taxes on top of the other anciallary legislation that has crippled
business for bingo operators as well as land casinos. The online casinos
gambling industry has not faced any of the severe burdens that land gambling
venues are encountering because they are not as effected by the increase in
gambling taxes, nor are the internet gambling sites affected by the smoking ban
in the UK.
The land casinos and bingo gambling operators have cried foul now for nearly a
year and are urging the UK government to provide some solutions and aid. The
online casinos gambling industry is flourishing whereas the latest reports on
land gambling in the UK indicate that the venues are barely able to keep their
doors open for business. A new announcement from UK Gambling Minister Gerry
Sutcliffe will see some relief for the land bingo operators. Although the bingo
operators were looking for more favorable taxation legislation, the new aid will
come in the way of lessening the restrictions on the types of slots and bingo
machines that companies are able to operate in their land gambling and bingo
venues.
The success of the online casinos gambling industry when juxtaposed with the
struggle of these land bingo operations really highlight the need for change.
Right now there is no indication that there is a planned link between the two
industries, and in fact that is an extremely remote possibility, but there is no
denying that the success of online bingo coupled with the new taxes on land
bingo venues is causing immense harm to the long-term viability of these
establishments. |
