Much has been stated in the papers recently regarding the bingo industry struggling as a result of the cigarette ban in England. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive tax breaks to help keep the industry alive. However can the internet adaptation of this traditional game present a lifeline, or might it not compare to its land based kin?

Bingo is an familiar game historically played by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game of late had seen a recent comeback in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo halls in place of the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the cigarette ban throughout UK.

No longer will gamblers be permitted to smoke at the same time dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favored places where folks enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Players have plummeted and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Of course they have not cast aside this classic game?

The answer is online. People realize that they can bet on bingo using their computer while enjoying a beer and smoke and still have a chance at massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course playing on the web can never replace the communal aspect of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the law has left a lot of bingo players with little choice.
