Might the Anti Smoking Law in the UK Force Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Internet?

An abundance has been written in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti smoking law in England. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge tax cuts to help keep the industry alive. However will the net adaptation of this traditional game offer a lifeline, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?
Bingo is an established game generally played by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent comeback in popularity with younger people opting to visit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the legislating of the cigarette ban all over United Kingdom.
No longer will players be allowed to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public place will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most popular locations where people like to puff on cigarettes.
The effects of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Certainly they have not given up on this classic game?
The answer is online. People know that they can play bingo using their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and still have a chance at massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course betting on online can never replace the communal part of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the rules have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
