A lot has been written in the press recently regarding the bingo industry being hurt because of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Conditions have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded big tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry afloat. However will the net version of this classic game offer a lifeline, or might it not compare to its real life relative?

Bingo has been an ancient game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game lately had witnessed a recent increase in popularity with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo parlours instead of the discos on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the anti smoking law around England and Wales.

No longer will gamblers be allowed to smoke whilst dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public areas will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular places where players like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the industry is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven’t cast aside this familiar game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers realize that they can bet on bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and cigarette and still have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the collective portion of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the law has left a number of bingo players with little choice.
