Much has been stated in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues because of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the web version of this traditional game present a reprieve, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo is an enduring game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had witnessed a recent increase in appeal with younger members of society opting to hit the bingo halls instead of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the legislating of the cigarette ban throughout Britain.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public place will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favored areas where many people like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo halls. Profits have dropped and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for its life. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not deserted this ancient game?

The answer is online. Players realise that they can play bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a beer and smoke and still have a chance at monstrous prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing online could never replace the social part of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the law has left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
