An abundance has been talked in the press recently about the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti smoking law in England. Conditions have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge tax breaks to assist in keeping the businesses alive. But can the online version of this classic game offer a lifeline, or will it not compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an familiar game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had seen a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the legislating of the cigarette ban throughout UK.

No more will players be permitted to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most popular places where many people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo parlors. Profits have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they have not given up on this familiar game?

The answer is online. Players realise that they can enjoy bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and fag and in the end, have a chance at monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the social aspect of going down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a number of bingo players with no option.
