A lot has been written in the press recently regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the anti cigarette law in the UK. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big aid to help keep the industry alive. But does the online variation of this classic game present a reprieve, or will it not compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo is an enduring game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent comeback in appeal with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to change with the introduction of the anti smoking law all over UK.

No more will gamblers be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public locations will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most popular places where people like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already forbidden in the bingo parlors. Players have plummeted and the industry is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they have not given up on this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realize that they can play bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy monstrous prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing on the internet will never replace the social aspect of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the law has left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
