Much has been written in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the net adaptation of this quintessential game present a escape, or might it in no way compare to its land based relative?

Bingo has been an established game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had undergone a recent return in appeal with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo parlors instead of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the smoking ban around UK.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favorite locations where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlors. Profits have plummeted and the business is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Of course they have not given up on this familiar game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and cig and still have a chance at monstrous prizes. This is a recent development and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing on the net will never replace the communal part of going down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
