Might the Anti Cigarette Law in England Drive Bingo Players On to the Net?

An abundance has been stated in the press recently regarding the bingo industry being hit as a result of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However does the internet version of this traditional game present a salvation, or might it never compare to its land based relative?
Bingo has been an age old game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game recently had witnessed a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo halls instead of the discos on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the legislating of the anti cigarette law across England and Wales.
No longer will gamblers be allowed to smoke whilst marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 all public areas will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored areas where many people enjoy smoking.
The results of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Profits have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they haven’t given up on this ancient game?
The answer is on the internet. People are now realizing that they can play bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a cocktail and fag and still have a chance at huge cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course playing on the web can never replace the social portion of going over to the bingo hall, but for a group of players the law has left a good many bingo players with no alternative.
