Much has been stated in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However will the web variation of this quintessential game provide a escape, or might it not compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an established game usually enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had experienced a recent return in popularity with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlours in place of the clubs on a weekend. This is all about to change with the introduction of the anti smoking law around England and Wales.

Players will no longer be able to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public location will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not allowed in the bingo halls. Profits have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Surely they have not deserted this age old game?

The answer is on the net. People know that they can bet on bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a drink and cigarette and still have a chance at massive jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course playing on the internet is unlikely to replace the collective portion of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with no option.
