Can the Smoking Ban in England Drive Bingo Players Online?

Much has been talked in the papers just a while ago about the bingo industry being hurt because of the anti smoking law in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive tax breaks to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the net variation of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or will it not compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo has been an age old game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had undergone a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society opting to go to the bingo halls rather than the clubs on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the enacting of the anti smoking law all over England and Wales.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common areas where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Of course they have not deserted this established game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and smoke and in the end, have a chance at massive jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the net is unlikely to replace the communal part of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of men and women the governing edicts have left a number of bingo players with little choice.
