Will the Anti Cigarette Law in Britain Take Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Web?

An abundance has been talked in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hit because of the cigarette ban in the UK. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to help keep the businesses alive. But will the net version of this quintessential game present a reprieve, or will it not compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo has been an established game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent resurgence in appeal with younger people deciding to visit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a weekend. This is all about to change with the legislating of the smoking ban around UK.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 all public places will not be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored areas where people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already forbidden in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plummeted and the business is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven’t forgotten this classic game?

The answer is on the internet. People know that they can play bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and fag and still enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on on the net could never replace the communal aspect of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the law has left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
