An abundance has been stated in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry being hit as a result of the smoking ban in the UK. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the internet adaptation of this quintessential game present a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its land based opposite?

Bingo has been an classic game usually enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game recently had seen a recent comeback in popularity with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlours instead of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the anti smoking law throughout UK.

No more will gamblers be allowed to smoke while marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common locations where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not given up on this established game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers realize that they can bet on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and fag and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course playing on the internet will never replace the social part of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
