Can the Cigarette Ban in England Take Bingo Players On to the Internet?

A lot has been written in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit because of the cigarette ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge tax cuts to help keep the businesses alive. However can the internet adaptation of this classic game offer a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo is an age old game historically played by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game lately had seen a recent comeback in popularity with younger people deciding to visit the bingo parlours in place of the discos on a Saturday night. This is all about to change with the enacting of the anti cigarette law across UK.

No longer will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public area will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favorite places where people like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not abandoned this ancient game?

The answer is on the internet. Players are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and smoke and still have a chance at massive prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on on the net could never replace the communal aspect of going over to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a good many bingo players with little alternative.
