An abundance has been stated in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the cigarette ban in the UK. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge aid to assist in keeping the industry alive. But does the net adaptation of this quintessential game present a escape, or will it never compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?

Bingo is an familiar game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had seen a recent increase in acceptance with younger people deciding to hit the bingo halls instead of the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to be reversed with the enforcement of the smoking ban throughout UK.

Players will no longer be able to smoke whilst marking numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 every public location will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common locations where folks enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo halls. Numbers have plunged and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Surely they have not forgotten this ancient game?

The answer is online. People realize that they can wager on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and cig and still enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the web can never replace the communal part of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the rules have left a number of bingo players with little alternative.
