Could the Smoking Ban in England Drive Bingo Players On to the Internet?

An abundance has been talked in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the smoking ban in the UK. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded big tax cuts to help keep the businesses alive. However can the net version of this traditional game present a lifeline, or might it not compare to its land based relative?
Bingo has been an ancient game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had witnessed a recent comeback in acceptance with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo halls in place of the clubs on a Saturday night. All this is about to change with the legislating of the anti cigarette law all over Britain.
No longer will enthusiasts be able to puff on cigarettes whilst marking numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most common areas where folks enjoy smoking.
The effects of the anti smoking law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the business is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not given up on this enduring game?
The answer is online. Gamblers know that they can bet on bingo using their computer while enjoying a beverage and smoke and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course wagering on on the web can never replace the collective portion of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
