An abundance has been stated in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big tax cuts to help keep the industry afloat. However can the web variation of this quintessential game offer a lifeline, or might it not compare to its land based peer?

Bingo has been an ancient game usually played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had undergone a recent resurgence in popularity with younger men and women opting to visit the bingo halls in place of the bars on a weekend. This is all about to be destroyed with the enacting of the smoking ban across Britain.

No more will players be allowed to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public area will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common places where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the industry is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not deserted this classic game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers realize that they can play bingo from their computer while enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and in the end, enjoy monstrous prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course betting on on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal part of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo players with little choice.
