Much has been stated in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti smoking law in the United Kingdom. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge aid to help keep the industry afloat. However does the online adaptation of this quintessential game present a escape, or might it not compare to its real life peer?

Bingo has been an age old game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had witnessed a recent resurgence in appeal with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the introduction of the smoking ban around Britain.

No more will gamblers be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public area will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favorite areas where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlors. Profits have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for its life. But where have the players gone? Obviously they haven’t deserted this established game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers realise that they can wager on bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy massive prizes. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the web is unlikely to replace the communal part of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the law has left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
