An abundance has been talked in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the cigarette ban in Britain. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry alive. However will the net variation of this quintessential game offer a escape, or might it not compare to its land based peer?

Bingo is an age old game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had experienced a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the cigarette ban all over UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is literally fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Obviously they have not abandoned this ancient game?

The answer is on the web. People know that they can enjoy bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and cigarette and in the end, enjoy big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened just about perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing online will never replace the communal part of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a lot of bingo players with little alternative.
