Much has been talked in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge tax breaks to help keep the businesses afloat. However does the web version of this classic game provide a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo is an familiar game usually enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game of late had experienced a recent return in appeal with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo halls instead of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the introduction of the smoking ban throughout Britain.

No longer will players be able to smoke while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public location will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favored areas where people like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlours. Profits have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Surely they have not cast aside this established game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can bet on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course gambling on online can never replace the collective part of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
