Is there any relation between bingo and underworld? Romance and passionate love is normally represented by Valentine’s Day but the atmosphere of love on this day was marred by an event which occurred some time ago. Instead of the arrow from Cupid striking your heart it was a hail of bullets which brought down some men on this day. On a cold day in winter in Chicago, on the 14th of February, 1929, Al Capone’s henchmen posing as police officers gunned down George Moran who was known as “Bugs” and was the arch rival of Al Capone. Along with Moran they also killed seven of his gang on that Valentine’s Day by carrying out a garage style execution. Gangsters proliferated in all the big cities in the United States during the days of Prohibition when bootlegging or illegal manufacture of liquor was prohibited. Ultimately all the states in America had to lift this Prohibition one after another and had to make the manufacture of liquor legal only after 1966 to stop organized crime from flourishing any further.The saying that history repeats itself came true when Prohibition was forced upon the game of online bingo and all the bingo halls. The Prohibition on bingo gave rise to markets which had no regulation resulting in the loss of huge amounts of revenue which could otherwise have been generated and also restricted the rights of the bingo players. This was another form of massacre which was faced by the bingo players who were deprived of the right to play bingo wherever and whenever they pleased.

Bingo Game
If history has its way with the future then a day will soon arrive when gambling will be legalized and just like Prohibition was lifted in the case of liquor, it will complete a full circle when one state after another and the ultimately the whole of United States will declare gambling as legal.
The political process of “yay”s and “nay”s decide whether gambling should be made legal or not. This process will come to an end when both the camps realize that revenue and economy is the actual source of power. If the climate of duress continues there can be no generation of revenue and hence the only way the economy can survive is to close the gap of misunderstanding between the two parties and agree to make gambling legal.
Since the inception of the game in the 1500s, a long time before the formation of the New World, the game of bingo had become quite popular. It has been forecast that bingo will go from strength to strength, often with newer and better options being added, and become even more popular among the masses. You will soon find parks, coffee shops and homes filled with people playing online bingo on their laptops. As the crazy idea of gaming on mobiles start catching up, more and more mobile phones will be used for gaming rather than for receiving or answering calls only.
The boom in the bingo industry will usher in huge amounts of job opportunities and the large number of jobless people will be reduced. The big cities which are already in the red by having legalized bingo will take on a colour mixed with red, blue and white and the gambling community will have got back its stature in the society with justice being done to it.
You have only to wait and watch at present…..
