A lot has been reported in the papers recently regarding the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to help keep the industry afloat. However does the web variation of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or might it never compare to its land based peer?

Bingo is an age old game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had witnessed a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women opting to go to the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the legislating of the cigarette ban around UK.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke while marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public area will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored locations where players like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already not allowed in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they haven’t forgotten this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. People know that they can bet on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a drink and smoke and still have a chance at monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself just about perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the net could never replace the collective portion of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the law has left a number of bingo players with no choice.
