A lot has been reported in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues because of the cigarette ban in England. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However can the internet version of this traditional game provide a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its real life kin?

Bingo is an familiar game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game recently had seen a recent comeback in popularity with younger people opting to go to the bingo parlours in place of the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti smoking law around UK.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke at the same time marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public location will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favorite locations where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Profits have plummeted and the industry is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Surely they haven’t forgotten this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. People realize that they can participate in bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course gambling on on the net is unlikely to replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
