Much has been stated in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the cigarette ban in England. Conditions have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the net variation of this traditional game provide a escape, or will it in no way compare to its real life opposite?

Bingo is an ancient game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game lately had experienced a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlours rather than the discos on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the anti smoking law around UK.

No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the business is absolutely fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not cast aside this enduring game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realise that they can gamble on bingo from their computer while enjoying a beer and fag and in the end, have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on online is unlikely to replace the social portion of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the law has left a good many bingo players with little option.
