Much has been talked in the papers just a while ago about the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to assist in keeping the industry afloat. However does the online adaptation of this quintessential game offer a escape, or will it not compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo has been an established game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game lately had undergone a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger people opting to go to the bingo halls rather than the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti cigarette law around United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most common locations where folks like to smoke.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Players have plunged and the business is literally struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they haven’t deserted this familiar game?

The answer is on the web. People are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a cocktail and fag and still enjoy big jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing on the net could never replace the communal aspect of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left many bingo players with no alternative.
