An abundance has been written in the press recently regarding the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti cigarette law in England. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses alive. But will the web version of this classic game provide a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo has been an established game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game lately had seen a recent comeback in popularity with younger members of society opting to go to the bingo parlors in place of the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti smoking law throughout United Kingdom.

No longer will gamblers be permitted to smoke while marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common areas where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the business is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they have not cast aside this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Players know that they can participate in bingo using their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and still enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the collective aspect of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a good many bingo players with no option.
