Much has been stated in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hit because of the cigarette ban in England. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge tax breaks to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However can the online variation of this classic game provide a salvation, or will it not compare to its land based kin?

Bingo has been an established game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had seen a recent increase in appeal with younger members of society deciding to hit the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the enforcement of the cigarette ban across United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be able to smoke while marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 all public areas will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular places where many people enjoy smoking.

The results of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already not allowed in the bingo parlours. Numbers have dropped and the industry is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Surely they haven’t given up on this enduring game?

The answer is on the internet. People are now realizing that they can wager on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and smoke and still enjoy huge cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on on the web could never replace the collective portion of going down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of people the governing edicts have left many bingo players with little alternative.
