An abundance has been written in the press not long ago about the bingo industry singing the blues because of the smoking ban in England. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big tax cuts to help keep the businesses afloat. But does the internet variation of this quintessential game offer a lifeline, or will it in no way compare to its land based peer?

Bingo is an established game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game recently had seen a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society opting to go to the bingo halls rather than the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law all over Britain.

No more will enthusiasts be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Certainly they have not forgotten this established game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can wager on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a drink and smoke and in the end, have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course betting on on the net is unlikely to replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
