Much has been talked in the press recently about the bingo industry singing the blues because of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However does the online adaptation of this traditional game offer a salvation, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar relative?

Bingo is an age old game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game of late had experienced a recent resurgence in popularity with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the anti cigarette law throughout UK.

No longer will players be allowed to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public area will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most popular areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven’t cast aside this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Players realize that they can gamble on bingo using their computer while enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and still have a chance at huge jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course betting on online is unlikely to replace the collective portion of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the law has left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
