A lot has been stated in the press recently concerning the bingo industry struggling because of the anti cigarette law in England. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive aid to help keep the industry alive. But will the online version of this classic game offer a lifeline, or will it in no way compare to its land based kin?

Bingo is an ancient game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had undergone a recent resurgence in appeal with younger people deciding to go to the bingo parlors instead of the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to change with the legislating of the anti cigarette law across Britain.

No more will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public areas will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored locations where many people like to smoke.

The results of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred 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? Obviously they have not cast aside this familiar game?

The answer is on the web. People are now realizing that they can wager on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and smoke and in the end, have a chance at big cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course betting on on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal part of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
