Do Higher Gas Prices Help or Hurt Local Bingos?

Like most entertainment activities, bingo revenue suffers when bingo players feel the pinch of a slowing economy. Less expendable income means that bingo players will stay home and play bingo less often.

Interestingly though, some feel that higher gas prices can help local bingo halls, at least in one way. If gas prices are high, some feel that many bingo players may decide to play bingo nearby at their local charity bingo rather than travel far to a casino. Of course many bingo players will still choose to play bingo both locally and at casinos no matter what gas prices are.

What do you think? Do higher gas prices help or hurt local charity bingos?
