Might the Anti Cigarette Law in the United Kingdom Take Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Net?

Much has been written in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the cigarette ban in the United Kingdom. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However will the web variation of this classic game present a reprieve, or will it not compare to its land based equivalent?

Bingo has been an age old game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had seen a recent return in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlours instead of the bars on a Saturday night. All this is about to change with the enacting of the anti cigarette law around Britain.

No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to smoke whilst dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public area will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common locations where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo halls. Numbers have dropped and the industry is absolutely fighting for its life. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they have not given up on this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can bet on bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beer and cigarette and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course betting on on the internet is unlikely to replace the social aspect of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a group of players the law has left a number of bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
