A lot has been written in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive tax breaks to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the web adaptation of this traditional game present a escape, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an ancient game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent comeback in appeal with younger people deciding to visit the bingo halls rather than the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the enacting of the anti cigarette law all over UK.

No longer will gamblers be allowed to smoke while marking numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favored areas where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the smoking ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plummeted and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Of course they haven’t given up on this classic game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers are now realizing that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and fag and still enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the web will never replace the collective part of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the law has left many bingo players with no option.
