Might the Smoking Ban in England Force Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Internet?

Much has been written in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit because of the anti cigarette law in England. Conditions have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But does the web version of this quintessential game present a lifeline, or will it in no way compare to its land based kin?
Bingo has been an familiar game usually enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had seen a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo halls in place of the discos on a Saturday night. This is all about to change with the enacting of the cigarette ban all over England and Wales.
No more will players be allowed to puff on cigarettes whilst marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 every public location will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored places where players like to puff on cigarettes.
The results of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not allowed in the bingo halls. Players have plummeted and the business is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they have not cast aside this classic game?
The answer is on the internet. People realise that they can gamble on bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and smoke and in the end, have a chance at monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course betting on on the web is unlikely to replace the social portion of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of people the rules have left many bingo players with no choice.
