Can the Smoking Ban in England Drive Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Internet?

An abundance has been stated in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But does the web adaptation of this classic game present a salvation, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar relative?

Bingo has been an age old game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game of late had experienced a recent increase in acceptance with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Saturday night. All this is about to change with the legislating of the anti cigarette law across Britain.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public places will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular places where many people like to smoke.

The results of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlors. Profits have plunged and the industry is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they haven’t forgotten this established game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers realise that they can participate in bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened just about perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing online can never replace the communal aspect of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
