An abundance has been written in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling because of the anti cigarette law in the UK. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But does the online adaptation of this traditional game offer a escape, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an ancient game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game recently had undergone a recent comeback in popularity with younger people deciding to visit the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a weekend. All this is about to be reversed with the legislating of the smoking ban around UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favored locations where players like to smoke.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlors. Players have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have the players gone? Obviously they haven’t abandoned this classic game?

The answer is online. Gamblers realize that they can play bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and fag and still have a chance at huge jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on on the internet could never replace the collective portion of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the law has left many bingo players with no choice.
