Can the Anti Smoking Law in England Drive Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Net?

An abundance has been reported in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry afloat. But does the web variation of this classic game offer a reprieve, or will it not compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo is an established game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game lately had seen a recent comeback in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to be reversed with the legislating of the anti smoking law throughout Britain.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke while marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular areas where players like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is literally fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Obviously they have not given up on this age old game?

The answer is on the web. People are now realizing that they can wager on bingo using their computer while enjoying a beer and cigarette and still enjoy big prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course betting on on the web is unlikely to replace the collective aspect of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a number of bingo players with no choice.
