Might the Anti Smoking Law in Britain Take Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Internet?

Much has been written in the papers just a while ago about the bingo industry struggling because of the anti smoking law in England. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to help keep the industry alive. But can the internet variation of this classic game provide a salvation, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?
Bingo has been an enduring game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game of late had undergone a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a weekend. This is all about to change with the enacting of the anti smoking law throughout England and Wales.
Players will no longer be allowed to puff on cigarettes whilst marking numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favorite places where people enjoy smoking.
The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo halls. Profits have plummeted and the business is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Surely they have not given up on this classic game?
The answer is on the net. Players realise that they can gamble on bingo using their computer while enjoying a beer and smoke and still have a chance at monstrous jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course wagering on on the web is unlikely to replace the social portion of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with no option.
