Could the Cigarette Ban in England Drive Bingo Enthusiasts Online?

Much has been reported in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a result of the anti smoking law in the United Kingdom. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However does the net adaptation of this quintessential game provide a lifeline, or might it not compare to its land based opposite?
Bingo has been an ancient game historically enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game lately had seen a recent comeback in acceptance with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the legislating of the cigarette ban across United Kingdom.
No longer will enthusiasts be able to puff on cigarettes whilst marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public area will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where people enjoy smoking.
The results of the smoking ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not abandoned this established game?
The answer is on the internet. People realise that they can wager on bingo using their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and in the end, enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.
Of course gambling on on the web will never replace the collective part of going down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the governing edicts have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
