A lot has been written in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit because of the anti smoking law in Britain. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge tax breaks to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the net adaptation of this traditional game present a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an ancient game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game of late had witnessed a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo halls in place of the bars on a weekend. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the legislating of the cigarette ban throughout England and Wales.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favorite places where many people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Players have plummeted and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Of course they have not given up on this age old game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realise that they can enjoy bingo using their computer while enjoying a cocktail and cig and still enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course playing on the internet is unlikely to replace the social aspect of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
