Much has been stated in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the net version of this quintessential game provide a lifeline, or will it in no way compare to its real life relative?

Bingo is an ancient game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society opting to go to the bingo parlors instead of the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the cigarette ban across UK.

No longer will enthusiasts be able to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public places will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favored areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo halls. Numbers have plummeted and the business is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Certainly they haven’t forgotten this enduring game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers realise that they can play bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and fag and still have a chance at monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course betting on on the web can never replace the communal aspect of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
