Online Gaming is the Popular Choice among Brits
27 October 2005

A recent survey was conducted in Britain, and the results revealed that online gaming has truly grabbed the attention of the general British public unlike anything else. The survey, which was conducted by cyberslotz.co.uk, showed that the average online British gamer spends an estimated 1,820 pounds on internet gaming every year!

Over 800 people that responded to the survey revealed that they visit an online gaming website at least once every two weeks, and are at the site for a minimum of 2 hours, and generally spend about 70 pounds.

What is the cause for this phenomenon? Well, due to the fact that the cost to visit the local high street casino continues to rise, and more and more households are obtaining Internet access, it should come as no surprise that online gaming is becoming the more popular choice among gamers. However, it isn’t just the online casinos that are gaining more attention, online bingo also deserves credit for the phenomenon.

In fact, it is interesting to note that of all the individual gamers who were surveyed, 31 percent had visited a bingo hall at least once within the year. Even more interesting is 30 percent played frequently online. It appears that players enjoy playing bingo online more than in a hall, because although they often make smaller wagers, they tend to win far more often.

The CEO of Cyberslotz.co.uk, Brian Morgan, has said that the statistics in their survey that were revealed shouldn’t be shocking, especially since they’ve been stating for quite some time now that the online gaming community is one that is ever growing. After all, there is no question that being able to play casino games in the comfort of your own home is far more convenient and just as enjoyable. Furthermore, you never have to pay for gas, parking, or babysitters, and can even play in your underwear should you fee like it – No land-based Casino could ever provide you with these luxuries at no cost.
