Much has been written in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry struggling because of the cigarette ban in Britain. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But does the net variation of this classic game present a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an enduring game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had undergone a recent increase in appeal with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo parlors in place of the discos on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the enforcement of the anti smoking law around Britain.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular areas where players like to smoke.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo halls. Numbers have plunged and the industry is literally struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Of course they haven’t abandoned this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers know that they can gamble on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and cig and still have a chance at massive jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the web could never replace the collective portion of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a number of bingo players with little alternative.
