Could the Anti Smoking Law in England Drive Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Internet?

A lot has been talked in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit because of the cigarette ban in the United Kingdom. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But does the net version of this quintessential game provide a reprieve, or will it in no way compare to its real life relative?

Bingo has been an established game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game recently had experienced a recent comeback in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to change with the enforcement of the cigarette ban throughout England and Wales.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public location will not be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most common areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the industry is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Obviously they have not given up on this enduring game?

The answer is online. Players realise that they can bet on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at huge cash rewards. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on on the internet is unlikely to replace the collective part of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a number of bingo players with no choice.
