Rowdy pensioners steered towards online bingo

4th August 2010 8:26 AM

The game of bingo has never been known to cause bositerous behaviour and rarely do we hear of people causing a disturbance at Mecca Bingo or Gala Bingo halls when playing the much loved game but a group of rowdy pensioners are steered towards online bingo sites after being threatened with asbos by their local council. The news comes after a group of bingo players at a sheltered housing complex upset another group in their community for being too noisy hence the move by the council.

The pensioners have been enjoying late night bingo sessions at their complex instead of a local hall such as Gala Bingo but have disturbed others who have been looking for a quieter life. The council admit that the threat of asbos was a little heavy handed, but a solution needs to be found to the problem which could mean the use of online bingo sites.

This could create issues for the elderly as it involves the use of a PC, which some may find a little daunting, but the benefits of continuing with their favourite past time in the way of online bingo sites could far outweigh the negatives for the rowdy pensioners. Of course they could always organise trips to a local Mecca Bingo hall or Gala Bingo, but this would take away the relaxed feel to the game that these pensioners have experienced by playing in the way that they do. Using online bingo sites is by far the best solution to the problem as it will allow them to carry on playing bingo games in the surroundings that they have been accustomed to. Of course Mecca Bingo and Gala Bingo also have their own online bingo sites which mean that these people can use online bingo sites under a name that they are familiar with.

Laying on a basic computer course for the pensioners to encourage them to use internet bingo sites instead of threatening asbos would be a more constructive option.
