An abundance has been talked in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt as a result of the cigarette ban in the United Kingdom. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to help keep the industry afloat. However can the online version of this classic game present a lifeline, or will it not compare to its real life opposite?

Bingo is an enduring game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game of late had experienced a recent return in popularity with younger people deciding to go to the bingo parlours rather than the bars on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law around Britain.

No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to puff on cigarettes while marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most popular places where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo parlors. Profits have plunged and the business is literally fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Of course they have not forgotten this classic game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers realize that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and cig and in the end, have a chance at massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on online is unlikely to replace the communal part of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a lot of bingo players with no alternative.
