A lot has been stated in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a result of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However can the web version of this classic game provide a escape, or will it not compare to its land based equivalent?

Bingo has been an familiar game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game lately had witnessed a recent comeback in acceptance with younger people opting to go to the bingo halls in place of the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law all over United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public location will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favorite areas where people like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo halls. Numbers have dropped and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not deserted this familiar game?

The answer is online. Players know that they can participate in bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and smoke and in the end, enjoy massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on on the net can never replace the collective aspect of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the governing edicts have left a good many bingo players with little choice.
