Could the Anti Cigarette Law in England Force Bingo Players Online?

A lot has been reported in the press recently about the bingo industry singing the blues because of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to help keep the industry alive. However can the internet version of this quintessential game provide a escape, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an ancient game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game lately had undergone a recent resurgence in appeal with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the enforcement of the smoking ban throughout England and Wales.

No more will enthusiasts be allowed to puff on cigarettes at the same time dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public area will not be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where players like to smoke.

The results of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not deserted this classic game?

The answer is on the internet. Gamblers know that they can gamble on bingo from their computer while enjoying a cocktail and fag and in the end, enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing on the net will never replace the social part of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a group of men and women the law has left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
