An abundance has been reported in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the smoking ban in England. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big aid to assist in keeping the businesses alive. But will the web variation of this quintessential game present a escape, or might it not compare to its real life kin?

Bingo is an enduring game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had experienced a recent return in popularity with younger people deciding to go to the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to change with the introduction of the smoking ban throughout UK.

Players will no longer be allowed to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public places will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favored locations where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Of course they haven’t cast aside this enduring game?

The answer is on the net. People are now realizing that they can bet on bingo from their computer while enjoying a cocktail and smoke and in the end, enjoy massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course gambling on on the web can never replace the social aspect of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a number of bingo players with little choice.
