Can the Anti Cigarette Law in Britain Take Bingo Players On to the Web?

An abundance has been talked in the press not long ago about the bingo industry singing the blues because of the cigarette ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses alive. However will the online version of this traditional game provide a reprieve, or will it never compare to its real life opposite?

Bingo has been an familiar game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game recently had undergone a recent return in appeal with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti smoking law across England and Wales.

No longer will players be permitted to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most common areas where people like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they haven’t cast aside this enduring game?

The answer is on the internet. Players realize that they can gamble on bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy big prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing online is unlikely to replace the collective portion of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of men and women the law has left many bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
