An abundance has been talked in the papers just a while ago about the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti cigarette law in England. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However does the internet variation of this traditional game present a reprieve, or will it in no way compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an age old game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game of late had experienced a recent comeback in appeal with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo halls instead of the discos on a Saturday night. This is all about to be reversed with the enacting of the anti smoking law across United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes while marking off their numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favored locations where people like to smoke.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo halls. Numbers have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Obviously they haven’t forgotten this classic game?

The answer is online. Gamblers know that they can play bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and smoke and still enjoy massive prizes. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on on the web can never replace the social portion of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
