An abundance has been reported in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But does the online adaptation of this quintessential game offer a lifeline, or will it never compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an age old game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had experienced a recent increase in popularity with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlors in place of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to change with the enacting of the anti cigarette law all over England and Wales.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most popular locations where people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the business is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they have not given up on this familiar game?

The answer is online. People are now realizing that they can bet on bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course betting on on the net is unlikely to replace the social aspect of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the law has left many bingo players with little choice.
