An abundance has been talked in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the cigarette ban in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive tax cuts to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the net variation of this quintessential game provide a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its real life kin?

Bingo is an enduring game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had undergone a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlors in place of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to change with the enacting of the smoking ban throughout England and Wales.

No more will enthusiasts be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favored areas where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the industry is absolutely 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. People realize that they can enjoy bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and smoke and still have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course playing on the net can never replace the collective aspect of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the rules have left a good many bingo players with little option.
