An abundance has been talked in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses afloat. However does the internet version of this traditional game present a reprieve, or might it never compare to its land based opposite?

Bingo has been an age old game usually played by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game of late had witnessed a recent return in appeal with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo parlors instead of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the introduction of the anti cigarette law around Britain.

No more will enthusiasts be able to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public areas will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most common areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Profits have plunged and the industry is absolutely fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not forgotten this age old game?

The answer is on the net. People realise that they can play bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a beer and fag and in the end, have a chance at huge jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course gambling on on the internet can never replace the communal portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
