Much has been talked in the press recently about the bingo industry being hit as a result of the cigarette ban in Britain. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However does the internet version of this quintessential game provide a escape, or might it not compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo has been an familiar game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game lately had experienced a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger people opting to go to the bingo parlors in place of the discos on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law across UK.

No longer will gamblers be allowed to smoke while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most popular areas where folks enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they haven’t abandoned this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Players are now realizing that they can play bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on on the net will never replace the collective aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the law has left a lot of bingo players with no option.
