Gala Bingo has closed a bingo hall in West Granton, the latest closure since the smoking ban came into effect.
Gala Bingo’s Manager Janet Duncan, stated that “loyal customers had been left devastated”. She said: “It’s all very sad. You got to know so many faces, the regulars. For our loyal customers the news of our closure has left them devastated. What’s put us out of business has certainly been the smoking ban. Also, a bus service that used to stop at our door and pull in punters from Leith and Pennywell no longer runs.”
A spokeswoman for owners Gala Coral, would not comment on why this latest closure had happened but she did say that “The Smoking ban alone could not be blamed”.

I agree that the smoking ban alone could not be blamed because there are other factors such as the taxation issues which can also cripple a bingo company.
Have fun with free bingo.
