A lot has been reported in the papers just a while ago about the bingo industry being hit as a result of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry afloat. But will the net version of this traditional game provide a lifeline, or might it in no way compare to its land based equivalent?

Bingo is an classic game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game of late had witnessed a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlours instead of the discos on a weekend. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the legislating of the cigarette ban across England and Wales.

No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common places where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the business is literally struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they have not forgotten this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realize that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and fag and still have a chance at massive prizes. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on on the internet is unlikely to replace the collective portion of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the governing edicts have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
