A lot has been stated in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hit because of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive aid to assist in keeping the industry alive. However can the internet variation of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo is an familiar game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had experienced a recent return in appeal with younger members of society deciding to hit the bingo parlours in place of the discos on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the enforcement of the anti smoking law all over Britain.

No more will enthusiasts be allowed to smoke at the same time dabbing numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public location will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most popular areas where people like to smoke.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlours. Players have dropped and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they haven’t abandoned this established game?

The answer is on the net. Players realize that they can play bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and cig and still have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with little option.
