An abundance has been written in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the smoking ban in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But does the web version of this traditional game present a salvation, or might it not compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo has been an established game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent resurgence in popularity with younger people opting to go to the bingo halls instead of the bars on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the enacting of the smoking ban across England and Wales.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public location will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where many people like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plummeted and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Certainly they have not given up on this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. People realize that they can play bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and fag and in the end, enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the net could never replace the social aspect of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of men and women the law has left a lot of bingo players with no option.
