An abundance has been stated in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to help keep the industry alive. However does the online variation of this traditional game offer a reprieve, or will it not compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo is an enduring game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had witnessed a recent resurgence in popularity with younger people deciding to visit the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law across England and Wales.

Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public places will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most common places where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo halls. Profits have plummeted and the industry is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they have not cast aside this enduring game?

The answer is online. People realize that they can bet on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a beer and cig and still enjoy big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on on the web is unlikely to replace the collective part of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a good many bingo players with little option.
