An abundance has been stated in the press not long ago about the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the smoking ban in the United Kingdom. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry alive. However can the net adaptation of this quintessential game present a escape, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo has been an ancient game generally played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had witnessed a recent increase in acceptance with younger people opting to go to the bingo parlours in place of the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law throughout UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common places where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlors. Players have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where did the players go? Surely they have not forgotten this familiar game?

The answer is on the web. Players realize that they can play bingo using their computer while enjoying a drink and fag and still enjoy massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on on the web is unlikely to replace the collective part of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
