A lot has been talked in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues because of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive tax breaks to assist in keeping the businesses alive. However will the online adaptation of this traditional game provide a lifeline, or will it not compare to its real life relative?

Bingo has been an familiar game historically enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had undergone a recent return in popularity with younger members of society opting to go to the bingo parlors instead of the clubs on a Saturday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the enforcement of the anti smoking law throughout Britain.

No more will enthusiasts be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public areas will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favorite places where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Profits have plunged and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they haven’t cast aside this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers know that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a cocktail and cig and still enjoy monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course gambling on on the web could never replace the collective aspect of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with no option.
