Could the Cigarette Ban in Britain Drive Bingo Players Online?

An abundance has been talked 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 called for huge tax breaks to help keep the industry afloat. However will the internet version of this classic game provide a lifeline, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?
Bingo is an enduring game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had witnessed a recent resurgence in popularity with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlours in place of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the cigarette ban all over UK.
No longer will gamblers be able to smoke at the same time dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most popular places where players like to puff on cigarettes.
The effects of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for its life. But where did the players go? Of course they haven’t abandoned this familiar game?
The answer is on the web. Gamblers realize that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and cig and still have a chance at monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.
Of course gambling on on the web is unlikely to replace the social portion of going over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
