Much has been reported in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hit because of the anti smoking law in Britain. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded big tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But can the internet variation of this quintessential game present a reprieve, or will it in no way compare to its land based opposite?

Bingo is an classic game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo halls instead of the bars on a weekend. This is all about to change with the enacting of the cigarette ban throughout United Kingdom.

No more will gamblers be allowed to smoke while dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public places will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common places where players enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the smoking ban can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo halls. Numbers have dropped and the industry is absolutely fighting for its life. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not forgotten this established game?

The answer is online. Players realize that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a drink and fag and still enjoy huge prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course betting on on the web is unlikely to replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
