Can the Anti Smoking Law in Britain Force Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Net?

An abundance has been reported in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a result of the cigarette ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded big tax breaks to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But will the web version of this quintessential game present a escape, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar relative?

Bingo is an familiar game historically played by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game recently had experienced a recent comeback in appeal with younger people deciding to hit the bingo parlors in place of the clubs on a weekend. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law across Britain.

No longer will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most popular areas where folks like to smoke.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlours. Profits have plunged and the industry is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not given up on this ancient game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can play bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and cigarette and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course playing on the web will never replace the communal aspect of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a good many bingo players with no choice.
