A lot has been reported in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in the UK. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive tax cuts to help keep the businesses afloat. However will the web adaptation of this classic game present a escape, or will it never compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an classic game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game of late had seen a recent comeback in acceptance with younger people opting to visit the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to be reversed with the introduction of the anti smoking law across Britain.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public places will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most popular places where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Profits have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Surely they haven’t given up on this familiar game?

The answer is online. Players are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and fag and still have a chance at massive cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the communal part of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a good many bingo players with no option.
