Might the Smoking Ban in the United Kingdom Drive Bingo Players On to the Net?

An abundance has been written in the press not long ago about the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge tax breaks to help keep the businesses afloat. However does the internet adaptation of this quintessential game present a salvation, or will it not compare to its land based opposite?
Bingo is an classic game usually enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had seen a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to change with the enacting of the anti smoking law throughout UK.
No more will players be allowed to smoke while marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favored places where players enjoy smoking.
The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they have not forgotten this age old game?
The answer is on the web. Players realize that they can bet on bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and fag and in the end, have a chance at massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.
Of course playing online can never replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of men and women the governing edicts have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
