Might the Smoking Ban in Britain Take Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Net?

An abundance has been stated in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt because of the anti smoking law in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive tax cuts to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But will the web adaptation of this quintessential game provide a lifeline, or might it not compare to its land based opposite?

Bingo has been an classic game historically enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had witnessed a recent resurgence in popularity with younger men and women opting to go to the bingo halls in place of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to be reversed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law all over England and Wales.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public places will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite places where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already not allowed in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Surely they have not forgotten this ancient game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers are now realizing that they can play bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a drink and smoke and still have a chance at monstrous jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened just about perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing on the internet could never replace the communal aspect of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo players with no option.
