A lot has been reported in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive tax cuts to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However can the internet variation of this classic game offer a salvation, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?

Bingo has been an age old game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game of late had experienced a recent comeback in popularity with younger men and women opting to go to the bingo halls in place of the discos on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the enacting of the cigarette ban across UK.

Players will no longer be able to smoke whilst marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public places will not be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most common areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo halls. Players have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they have not abandoned this established game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers realise that they can play bingo using their computer while enjoying a beverage and fag and in the end, enjoy big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course gambling on on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal portion of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with no option.
