Might the Cigarette Ban in Britain Drive Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Internet?

An abundance has been stated in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry afloat. However will the net variation of this quintessential game offer a reprieve, or will it in no way compare to its real life kin?
Bingo is an established game usually played by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game recently had experienced a recent return in appeal with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti smoking law throughout Britain.
No longer will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public places will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common places where players enjoy smoking.
The effects of the smoking ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plunged and the industry is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they haven’t cast aside this familiar game?
The answer is on the web. Gamblers realize that they can play bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.
Of course wagering on on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal aspect of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the rules have left many bingo players with no option.
