Much has been written in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti smoking law in England. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the web version of this classic game provide a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its land based kin?

Bingo has been an established game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women opting to visit the bingo parlors instead of the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the cigarette ban all over UK.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public place will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favorite areas where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo halls. Players have dropped and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they have not given up on this age old game?

The answer is on the net. Players know that they can play bingo from their computer while enjoying a cocktail and fag and in the end, have a chance at massive cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course betting on online is unlikely to replace the social portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a lot of bingo players with no choice.
