Might the Smoking Ban in Britain Take Bingo Players Online?

by Annie on Apr.26, 2022, under Bingo

A lot has been stated in the papers recently about the bingo industry struggling as a result of the cigarette ban in the UK. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But can the net variation of this traditional game offer a reprieve, or will it never compare to its real life kin?

Bingo is an classic game normally played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger men and women opting to visit the bingo parlours instead of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the anti smoking law all over United Kingdom.

No longer will gamblers be permitted to puff on cigarettes while dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where folks enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo halls. Players have plunged and the industry is literally struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they have not abandoned this established game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realize that they can play bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a drink and smoke and in the end, enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course wagering on online can never replace the collective part of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the law has left a good many bingo players with little option.
