Can the Cigarette Ban in England Drive Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Net?

An abundance has been stated in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the cigarette ban in the UK. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the net version of this quintessential game provide a lifeline, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an ancient game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had seen a recent resurgence in popularity with younger men and women opting to go to the bingo parlours instead of the bars on a Saturday night. All this is about to be reversed with the introduction of the smoking ban throughout UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public locations will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo halls. Numbers have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Certainly they haven’t forgotten this established game?

The answer is on the internet. People are now realizing that they can wager on bingo from their computer while enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and in the end, enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course wagering on on the net is unlikely to replace the social portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a lot of bingo players with little option.
