A lot has been reported in the press not long ago about the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded big tax breaks to help keep the businesses afloat. However will the web version of this quintessential game offer a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its real life peer?

Bingo is an familiar game historically played by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game lately had experienced a recent increase in popularity with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo halls in place of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to be reversed with the enacting of the cigarette ban around United Kingdom.

No more will gamblers be allowed to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite areas where players like to smoke.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Surely they have not deserted this familiar game?

The answer is on the internet. People know that they can gamble on bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and smoke and still have a chance at massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on on the web is unlikely to replace the communal portion of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the law has left many bingo players with little choice.
