A lot has been written in the press not long ago about the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry alive. But does the online variation of this traditional game offer a salvation, or might it never compare to its real life opposite?

Bingo has been an established game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game recently had witnessed a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlors rather than the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to be reversed with the introduction of the anti smoking law all over UK.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favorite areas where players like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlours. Players have plummeted and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not deserted this established game?

The answer is on the internet. People are now realizing that they can bet on bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and smoke and in the end, enjoy monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the communal portion of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
