A lot has been talked in the press just a while ago about the bingo industry being hurt because of the smoking ban in the UK. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to assist in keeping the industry afloat. But will the net adaptation of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an ancient game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game of late had experienced a recent comeback in popularity with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo halls in place of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the legislating of the smoking ban around United Kingdom.

No more will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes while dabbing numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular locations where many people like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not given up on this ancient game?

The answer is on the web. Players know that they can gamble on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a drink and smoke and still enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the web could never replace the collective portion of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the rules have left many bingo enthusiasts with no option.
