A lot has been reported in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a result of the cigarette ban in the United Kingdom. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But can the web version of this classic game offer a reprieve, or will it never compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an ancient game usually played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had experienced a recent return in acceptance with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlours rather than the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the enforcement of the cigarette ban around UK.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public places will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favored locations where many people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already not allowed in the bingo halls. Players have plummeted and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not cast aside this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realize that they can enjoy bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course betting on online could never replace the collective part of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
