An abundance has been talked in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive tax cuts to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However can the net adaptation of this classic game offer a escape, or might it not compare to its land based relative?
Bingo is an classic game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had seen a recent return in acceptance with younger people deciding to hit the bingo halls in place of the clubs on a Saturday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law around UK.
Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public places will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most common places where many people enjoy smoking.
The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not deserted this established game?
The answer is on the internet. Gamblers are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and in the end, have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.
Of course playing on the net can never replace the collective part of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the rules have left many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
