Can the Anti Cigarette Law in England Force Bingo Players On to the Web?

Much has been talked in the press just a while ago about the bingo industry struggling as a result of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big tax cuts to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But does the web variation of this traditional game present a lifeline, or might it in no way compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo is an age old game usually played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had experienced a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo halls in place of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti smoking law all over Britain.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most popular areas where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlours. Players have plummeted and the business is absolutely fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not abandoned this enduring game?

The answer is online. Gamblers realize that they can gamble on bingo using their computer while enjoying a drink and cig and in the end, have a chance at massive prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on on the internet is unlikely to replace the social portion of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the law has left a good many bingo players with no alternative.
