A lot has been written in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry struggling because of the anti cigarette law in the UK. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to assist in keeping the industry afloat. But will the net version of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its real life relative?

Bingo has been an established game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had witnessed a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo parlours instead of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the introduction of the smoking ban around Britain.

Players will no longer be able to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favorite locations where many people like to smoke.

The results of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not deserted this enduring game?

The answer is online. Players know that they can bet on bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beer and cigarette and still enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course gambling on on the net is unlikely to replace the collective part of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the law has left many bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
