Much has been written in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However can the internet adaptation of this traditional game offer a lifeline, or might it in no way compare to its real life kin?

Bingo is an familiar game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game recently had experienced a recent return in acceptance with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlors instead of the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the enforcement of the smoking ban across England and Wales.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public area will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular areas where people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo parlors. Players have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Of course they have not given up on this ancient game?

The answer is online. People realize that they can bet on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a drink and smoke and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on on the web could never replace the collective aspect of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the governing edicts have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
