An abundance has been talked in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry being hurt as a result of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive aid to help keep the businesses alive. However can the online version of this classic game present a salvation, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?

Bingo has been an established game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent resurgence in popularity with younger people opting to visit the bingo parlors in place of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the smoking ban all over United Kingdom.

No longer will players be allowed to puff on cigarettes whilst marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most common places where people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not abandoned this ancient game?

The answer is on the web. People are now realizing that they can wager on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and fag and still enjoy monstrous prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course gambling on online is unlikely to replace the social portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the rules have left many bingo players with no choice.
