A lot has been stated in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling because of the cigarette ban in England. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax breaks to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However does the online adaptation of this classic game provide a lifeline, or will it not compare to its bricks and mortar kin?
Bingo is an enduring game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent increase in appeal with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo halls rather than the discos on a weekend. All this is about to be reversed with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law all over UK.
Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public area will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common areas where folks enjoy smoking.
The results of the smoking ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Obviously they have not deserted this established game?
The answer is on the web. People realise that they can gamble on bingo from their computer while enjoying a beverage and cig and in the end, have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.
Of course wagering on on the web will never replace the collective portion of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the rules have left a good many bingo players with no option.
