An abundance has been reported in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti smoking law in the UK. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the net variation of this classic game offer a escape, or will it not compare to its real life equivalent?
Bingo has been an established game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had seen a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women opting to visit the bingo parlours rather than the discos on a Friday night. This is all about to be reversed with the enacting of the cigarette ban throughout UK.
Players will no longer be able to smoke whilst dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most popular locations where players enjoy smoking.
The results of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlors. Players have plummeted and the business is absolutely fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Of course they haven’t abandoned this familiar game?
The answer is on the net. Gamblers know that they can participate in bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a drink and fag and still have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the communal aspect of going over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
