Much has been written in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry alive. However will the online variation of this classic game present a escape, or will it not compare to its real life kin?

Bingo is an classic game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had witnessed a recent comeback in popularity with younger men and women opting 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 cigarette ban all over UK.

No more will enthusiasts be able to smoke whilst dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common places where people like to smoke.

The outcome of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlors. Profits have plummeted and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not abandoned this established game?

The answer is online. People realize that they can play bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and fag and in the end, have a chance at huge jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on online will never replace the social aspect of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
