An abundance has been reported in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the anti cigarette law in the UK. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to assist in keeping the industry alive. However can the internet adaptation of this quintessential game present a escape, or might it in no way compare to its real life opposite?

Bingo has been an age old game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game recently had seen a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger people opting to visit the bingo parlours instead of the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to change with the legislating of the smoking ban all over England and Wales.

Players will no longer be able to smoke while marking numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public area will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common locations where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Surely they have not forgotten this classic game?

The answer is on the web. People realise that they can participate in bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beer and smoke and still have a chance at monstrous jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course gambling on on the web is unlikely to replace the social aspect of going down to the bingo hall, but for a group of players the rules have left many bingo players with no option.
