The Bingo Association, a group representing the embattled UK land bingo industry, has given its response to the UK government's proposal to change the rules regulating the number of B3 machines permitted in UK licensed bingo clubs saying it warmly welcomes the move.
The announcement, made by Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe last week, makes provision for an additional four machines per club and follows a period of intense consultation with the Department for Media Culture and Sport.
The revision to the Gambling Act addresses the loss of machines at land bingo clubs after its implementation in September 2007. Sutcliffe's announcement effectively restores bingo clubs' machine entitlement to levels operating prior to the Act taking effect.
