Much has been talked in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a result of the cigarette ban in the United Kingdom. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However can the online version of this quintessential game present a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its real life relative?

Bingo has been an established game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had witnessed a recent comeback in appeal with younger people deciding to hit the bingo parlors in place of the clubs on a Saturday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti smoking law around England and Wales.

No longer will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes while marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favorite places where players enjoy smoking.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven’t deserted this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. Players realize that they can participate in bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the communal portion of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the rules have left a lot of bingo players with no option.
