Much has been stated in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt because of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the online adaptation of this traditional game provide a reprieve, or will it not compare to its land based kin?

Bingo is an enduring game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had witnessed a recent comeback in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlours in place of the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti smoking law throughout United Kingdom.

No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to smoke whilst marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public areas will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favorite locations where many people like to smoke.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the business is literally fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Obviously they haven’t cast aside this established game?

The answer is on the net. People know that they can enjoy bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and cigarette and still enjoy big prizes. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the net will never replace the social portion of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the law has left a number of bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
