Might the Anti Cigarette Law in England Force Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Web?

Much has been reported in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti smoking law in Britain. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But does the web adaptation of this traditional game present a escape, or might it not compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an classic game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women opting to go to the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to change with the enforcement of the cigarette ban across Britain.

Players will no longer be allowed to puff on cigarettes while marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular locations where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Obviously they haven’t forgotten this age old game?

The answer is on the web. People realize that they can bet on bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and still have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on online will never replace the collective portion of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the rules have left many bingo players with little option.
