Much has been written in the papers recently about the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti smoking law in England. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However does the online adaptation of this traditional game provide a reprieve, or might it not compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo has been an familiar game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had witnessed a recent return in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlours rather than the discos on a Saturday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law throughout England and Wales.

No more will players be permitted to smoke at the same time dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored areas where folks like to smoke.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Surely they have not forgotten this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Players realise that they can enjoy bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and smoke and still enjoy monstrous prizes. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course wagering on on the net is unlikely to replace the communal part of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the rules have left a number of bingo players with little alternative.
