An abundance has been reported in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti smoking law in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses alive. But can the web variation of this quintessential game provide a salvation, or will it not compare to its land based opposite?

Bingo has been an classic game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had undergone a recent comeback in popularity with younger people deciding to go to the bingo parlors instead of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti cigarette law across United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be allowed to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most popular places where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlors. Players have plunged and the industry is absolutely fighting for its life. But where have all the players gone? Surely they have not forgotten this established game?

The answer is on the internet. People are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and smoke and still enjoy big jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course gambling on on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a lot of bingo players with little option.
