An abundance has been stated in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the anti smoking law in the United Kingdom. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However does the internet adaptation of this traditional game present a lifeline, or will it not compare to its real life peer?

Bingo is an age old game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had undergone a recent resurgence in popularity with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to be reversed with the enacting of the smoking ban all over Britain.

No longer will gamblers be permitted to smoke while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common places where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plummeted and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not deserted this established game?

The answer is on the internet. People know that they can wager on bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a drink and cig and still enjoy massive cash rewards. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course betting on online can never replace the social part of going down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of men and women the rules have left a number of bingo players with no option.
