A lot has been talked in the press recently about the bingo industry struggling because of the smoking ban in England. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the online adaptation of this traditional game offer a lifeline, or will it not compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo is an classic game historically played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game lately had seen a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a Friday night. This is all about to be reversed with the legislating of the smoking ban throughout England and Wales.

No longer will players be able to smoke while marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public area will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored places where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Players have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Certainly they haven’t deserted this classic game?

The answer is on the internet. Players realise that they can play bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, enjoy big jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course betting on on the net will never replace the communal part of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
