An abundance has been stated in the press just a while ago about the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the smoking ban in the UK. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big tax breaks to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the internet variation of this classic game offer a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar relative?

Bingo has been an established game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had witnessed a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlors rather than the clubs on a Saturday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the legislating of the anti smoking law all over United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes whilst marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favorite areas where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not cast aside this classic game?

The answer is on the web. Players realize that they can wager on bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and cig and in the end, enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing on the internet is unlikely to replace the social portion of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the rules have left many bingo players with little option.
