A lot has been written in the papers recently regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax breaks to help keep the businesses afloat. However can the online version of this classic game provide a escape, or will it not compare to its land based relative?

Bingo is an age old game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game of late had witnessed a recent comeback in appeal with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlors in place of the discos on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the enforcement of the smoking ban around UK.

No longer will gamblers be allowed to puff on cigarettes while dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public location will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favored places where players like to smoke.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo halls. Numbers have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Surely they have not deserted this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers are now realizing that they can play bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and smoke and in the end, enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the web is unlikely to replace the collective portion of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the governing edicts have left many bingo players with little option.
