A lot has been reported in the papers just a while ago about the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive aid to help keep the businesses alive. But can the online adaptation of this traditional game offer a escape, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an established game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had undergone a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society deciding to hit the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law across England and Wales.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public location will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favored places where players like to smoke.

The results of the smoking ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlours. Players have plummeted and the industry is literally fighting for its life. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they have not given up on this ancient game?

The answer is on the web. People are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a beer and cigarette and still enjoy monstrous prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal portion of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a number of bingo players with no choice.
