Much has been talked in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the smoking ban in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive tax cuts to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the online adaptation of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its real life relative?

Bingo has been an ancient game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had witnessed a recent return in popularity with younger people opting to visit the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to change with the enforcement of the cigarette ban throughout United Kingdom.

No more will gamblers be able to smoke while dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favorite locations where folks like to smoke.

The results of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo halls. Players have plummeted and the business is literally struggling for its life. But where did the players go? Surely they haven’t cast aside this established game?

The answer is on the internet. Players know that they can enjoy bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and smoke and in the end, enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course gambling on on the web can never replace the social aspect of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the law has left many bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
