Might the Anti Smoking Law in the United Kingdom Force Bingo Players On to the Internet?

A lot has been stated in the press recently regarding the bingo industry being hit because of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However can the online variation of this traditional game offer a reprieve, or will it in no way compare to its land based kin?

Bingo has been an classic game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game recently had witnessed a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women opting to visit the bingo parlors rather than the clubs on a Saturday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law all over Britain.

No more will enthusiasts be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public places will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favored areas where people like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Players have plummeted and the industry is literally struggling for its life. But where did all the players go? Of course they have not given up on this ancient game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers realise that they can gamble on bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a drink and smoke and in the end, enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on online is unlikely to replace the social portion of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a group of players the rules have left a lot of bingo players with no option.
