Will the Cigarette Ban in Britain Drive Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Internet?

A lot has been written in the press just a while ago about the bingo industry being hit as a result of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to assist in keeping the businesses afloat. However can the online variation of this classic game provide a lifeline, or will it never compare to its land based opposite?

Bingo has been an familiar game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game of late had witnessed a recent comeback in popularity with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo halls instead of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the smoking ban around England and Wales.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favorite places where players enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo halls. Players have plummeted and the industry is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they haven’t forgotten this established game?

The answer is on the internet. People know that they can participate in bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and cig and in the end, enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course gambling on on the internet will never replace the social part of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
