A lot has been stated in the press recently regarding the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti smoking law in Britain. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive tax cuts to help keep the industry alive. But will the web adaptation of this classic game offer a reprieve, or might it never compare to its real life opposite?

Bingo is an established game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game recently had undergone a recent comeback in appeal with younger people opting to go to the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to be reversed with the introduction of the anti cigarette law around Britain.

No longer will players be permitted to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public location will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favorite places where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they haven’t cast aside this classic game?

The answer is on the internet. Players realize that they can participate in bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and cig and still enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the web will never replace the communal part of going down to the bingo hall, but for a group of players the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
