An abundance has been reported in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge tax cuts to help keep the businesses afloat. However can the web adaptation of this traditional game offer a escape, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar peer?
Bingo is an familiar game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had seen a recent increase in acceptance with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlours instead of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to change with the enacting of the anti cigarette law throughout UK.
No more will gamblers be allowed to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular locations where people like to smoke.
The effects of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they haven’t cast aside this established game?
The answer is on the internet. Gamblers are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and smoke and in the end, have a chance at monstrous prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.
Of course betting on on the net could never replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
