A lot has been reported in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit because of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry alive. But can the web variation of this classic game offer a reprieve, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo has been an familiar game normally played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game of late had seen a recent increase in popularity with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to be reversed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law around United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be able to smoke while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular locations where folks enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Obviously they have not abandoned this enduring game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers know that they can enjoy bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at monstrous prizes. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing on the web can never replace the communal portion of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
