An abundance has been reported in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt as a result of the smoking ban in England. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big tax cuts to help keep the industry afloat. However can the online adaptation of this traditional game present a escape, or might it in no way compare to its land based equivalent?

Bingo has been an familiar game generally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had undergone a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the legislating of the smoking ban around United Kingdom.

No longer will gamblers be able to smoke whilst marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public place will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored locations where many people enjoy smoking.

The results of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Players have dropped and the industry is absolutely fighting for its life. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not abandoned this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. People realize that they can enjoy bingo using their computer while enjoying a drink and smoke and in the end, enjoy big prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the internet will never replace the collective portion of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a number of bingo players with no alternative.
