A lot has been reported in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti smoking law in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to assist in keeping the industry alive. But will the online version of this classic game offer a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo has been an familiar game usually enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had experienced a recent return in popularity with younger people opting to hit the bingo halls in place of the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to change with the enforcement of the cigarette ban across United Kingdom.

No more will players be able to smoke while marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public location will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular locations where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for its life. But where did all the players go? Of course they haven’t given up on this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. People realise that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and smoke and still enjoy monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course gambling on on the web can never replace the social portion of going down to the bingo hall, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a good many bingo players with little choice.
