A lot has been talked in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti smoking law in England. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the internet variation of this classic game provide a lifeline, or will it in no way compare to its land based equivalent?

Bingo is an familiar game historically played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had seen a recent increase in appeal with younger people deciding to hit the bingo parlours rather than the discos on a weekend. All this is about to change with the enacting of the cigarette ban around England and Wales.

No longer will players be able to smoke whilst dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular locations where many people enjoy smoking.

The results of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlours. Players have dropped and the industry is literally struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they haven’t forgotten this established game?

The answer is online. People realise that they can bet on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a drink and fag and in the end, enjoy big prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing online can never replace the social portion of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo players with little option.
