A lot has been stated in the papers recently regarding the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in England. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses alive. However can the net variation of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or might it not compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an established game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game of late had undergone a recent return in appeal with younger men and women opting to go to the bingo parlours in place of the discos on a weekend. All this is about to be reversed with the enforcement of the smoking ban across UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most popular locations where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not abandoned this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. Players realise that they can bet on bingo using their computer while enjoying a beverage and cigarette and still enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on on the internet could never replace the communal aspect of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the rules have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
