Could the Anti Cigarette Law in Britain Take Bingo Players On to the Internet?

A lot has been reported in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry being hit as a result of the cigarette ban in Britain. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge aid to assist in keeping the industry alive. But can the internet adaptation of this quintessential game offer a reprieve, or might it never compare to its land based kin?
Bingo is an classic game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had witnessed a recent resurgence in popularity with younger men and women deciding to visit the bingo halls rather than the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to change with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law across United Kingdom.
No more will players be permitted to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public areas will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most common places where folks like to puff on cigarettes.
The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo halls. Profits have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Obviously they haven’t given up on this classic game?
The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a drink and fag and still have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.
Of course playing on the internet is unlikely to replace the social portion of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the rules have left many bingo players with no option.
