Much has been stated in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry being hurt because of the cigarette ban in England. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But can the net adaptation of this traditional game offer a reprieve, or might it not compare to its real life relative?

Bingo is an ancient game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had experienced a recent increase in appeal with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlours rather than the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the smoking ban across UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most common areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo halls. Numbers have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Surely they have not abandoned this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers know that they can wager on bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and fag and in the end, enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on online could never replace the social portion of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
