A lot has been written in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a result of the smoking ban in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive tax breaks to help keep the industry alive. But does the net variation of this classic game provide a escape, or might it not compare to its land based relative?

Bingo has been an classic game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had undergone a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society opting to hit the bingo parlors in place of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti cigarette law throughout Britain.

No longer will enthusiasts be allowed to smoke while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most common locations where people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Certainly they haven’t deserted this classic game?

The answer is on the net. Players realise that they can enjoy bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at huge prizes. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on online is unlikely to replace the communal aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the law has left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
