An abundance has been reported in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge tax cuts to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However does the online variation of this classic game offer a escape, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an classic game generally enjoyed 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 halls in place of the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the enacting of the cigarette ban all over United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public area will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most common areas where players enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo halls. Profits have plummeted and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they haven’t abandoned this age old game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers realize that they can play bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at big cash rewards. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on on the web is unlikely to replace the social aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the governing edicts have left a good many bingo players with little option.
