A lot has been written in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the cigarette ban in England. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge aid to help keep the businesses alive. But will the internet adaptation of this traditional game present a escape, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an age old game normally played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had undergone a recent return in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlours rather than the bars on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the enforcement of the anti smoking law across England and Wales.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke while dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public place will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most common places where players like to smoke.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo halls. Players have dropped and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where did the players go? Of course they haven’t forgotten this classic game?

The answer is online. People know that they can enjoy bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at huge jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on on the web will never replace the collective aspect of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo players with no choice.
