An abundance has been reported in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the cigarette ban in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses afloat. However will the web variation of this quintessential game present a lifeline, or might it never compare to its land based kin?

Bingo is an enduring game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had undergone a recent resurgence in appeal with younger people opting to go to the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the anti smoking law around Britain.

Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public places will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favored locations where players enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlors. Players have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Of course they haven’t forgotten this established game?

The answer is on the net. Players know that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a beer and fag and still have a chance at huge prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing online is unlikely to replace the social part of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the law has left many bingo players with little choice.
