An abundance has been written in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in the UK. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive aid to help keep the industry afloat. However will the online adaptation of this traditional game present a reprieve, or will it in no way compare to its land based equivalent?

Bingo has been an enduring game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had witnessed a recent return in acceptance with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to be reversed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law across UK.

Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most common areas where folks enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already forbidden in the bingo halls. Players have dropped and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Obviously they have not abandoned this classic game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers are now realizing that they can bet on bingo from their computer while enjoying a beer and cigarette and still have a chance at massive prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course gambling on on the net will never replace the collective aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the law has left many bingo players with little choice.
