The popular Quayside Bingo Hall, Baker Street in Lossiemouth was opened by Remo Caira in 1993 and it was taken over by James Allen in 2000. This hall is the only independent Bingo hall in north Scotland and now, it is expected to be demolished on account of construction of flats in that area. The hall Bingo industry is not having bad times with the heavy competition from online Bingo, increased VAT, and ban to smoke inside the hall.
The Bingo hall was called Lucky Lossie, as several players won huge prizes in the hall. At present, Moray council has plans to construct three townhouses on the hall site. Until approval, the hall will be available in the site. The owner Allen said that site Bingo has lost popularity as more and more online Bingo websites were established. When he started linking with other Bingo halls, there were 50 halls and now, there are only 27 halls. In the same Quayside hall, Sunday prizes were £200,200 and now the prize was reduced to £25,000 because of the increased cost in running the Bingo. Many of these halls were converted into townships and pub chains because of their popularity in Scotland.
Allen is pretty much disappointed with closing the hall, but he is still having open options. Quayside is the only Bingo hall that is left independent in north Scotland. Popular players who topped Scotland online Bingo are Bingo Scotland and Scot Bingo. There are a total of only three Bingo halls left in Moray.
