An abundance has been reported in the papers recently about the bingo industry struggling because of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive tax cuts to help keep the industry alive. However does the web variation of this classic game present a reprieve, or might it not compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an enduring game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game lately had seen a recent comeback in appeal with younger people deciding to go to the bingo halls rather than the clubs on a Saturday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the enacting of the cigarette ban all over UK.

No more will players be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public area will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favorite locations where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Profits have plummeted and the industry is literally struggling for its life. But where did the players go? Of course they have not given up on this ancient game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers realise that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and cig and in the end, have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course gambling on on the web is unlikely to replace the communal aspect of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a lot of bingo players with little choice.
