An abundance has been reported in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in the UK. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to help keep the businesses afloat. But does the web variation of this quintessential game present a lifeline, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an familiar game usually enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game of late had undergone a recent resurgence in appeal with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo halls in place of the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law throughout UK.

No more will enthusiasts be allowed to puff on cigarettes while 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 parlours, one of the most popular locations where folks enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo halls. Numbers have plummeted and the business is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they haven’t cast aside this enduring game?

The answer is online. People know that they can wager on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and smoke and still have a chance at massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course gambling on on the web will never replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the law has left a number of bingo players with no option.
