ALMOST half of Scotland’s bingo halls face closure as the smoking ban takes its toll on revenues.

Five clubs have closed already, including one in the Capital operated by Carlton Bingo, while a further three are expected to shut in the next few weeks.
The Bingo Association today warned that between 30 and 40 bingo halls are at risk of closure in the longer term. The warning comes just three months after the ban came into force.
