Could the Anti Smoking Law in the UK Drive Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Net?

An abundance has been talked in the press recently regarding the bingo industry being hit as a result of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded big tax cuts to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. But does the internet adaptation of this traditional game present a escape, or will it in no way compare to its real life peer?
Bingo is an enduring game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had witnessed a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the smoking ban throughout Britain.
No longer will enthusiasts be allowed to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. From the summer of ‘07 all public locations will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular places where people like to puff on cigarettes.
The results of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo halls. Players have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not forgotten this enduring game?
The answer is on the net. Players realise that they can bet on bingo using their computer while enjoying a cocktail and fag and in the end, have a chance at huge prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.
Of course playing on the web is unlikely to replace the social part of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo players with little option.
