An abundance has been stated in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the smoking ban in the UK. Conditions have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big tax breaks to help keep the industry alive. But can the internet adaptation of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an established game historically enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game lately had undergone a recent comeback in appeal with younger people opting to go to the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the enforcement of the smoking ban around UK.

No more will gamblers be permitted to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most popular areas where players 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. Profits have dropped and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not forgotten this enduring game?

The answer is on the internet. Players are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beer and cigarette and in the end, enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on online is unlikely to replace the communal aspect of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the rules have left a good many bingo players with little option.
