An abundance has been reported in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the anti smoking law in the United Kingdom. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However can the web version of this classic game offer a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo is an ancient game historically enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had experienced a recent increase in acceptance with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo parlors instead of the discos on a Saturday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the legislating of the anti smoking law around United Kingdom.

No more will gamblers be able to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common locations where people like to smoke.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo halls. Players have plunged and the industry is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they have not deserted this established game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realise that they can gamble on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and smoke and in the end, enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course betting on on the web is unlikely to replace the collective portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of men and women the governing edicts have left many bingo players with little alternative.
