An abundance has been stated in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the cigarette ban in England. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge tax breaks to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the net variation of this classic game present a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an classic game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had experienced a recent return in appeal with younger members of society opting to hit the bingo parlors in place of the bars on a Saturday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law throughout England and Wales.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public area will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most popular locations where players enjoy smoking.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlours. Players have dropped and the industry is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Surely they haven’t deserted this classic game?

The answer is online. Players know that they can enjoy bingo from their computer while enjoying a drink and cigarette and still have a chance at big cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course wagering on on the web is unlikely to replace the collective aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the rules have left many bingo enthusiasts with little option.
