An abundance has been talked in the press just a while ago about the bingo industry being hit as a result of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses alive. But can the web variation of this traditional game present a lifeline, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar relative?

Bingo has been an classic game usually played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game recently had witnessed a recent comeback in acceptance with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo parlours instead of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the enforcement of the anti cigarette law across Britain.

No longer will players be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public areas will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where many people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plummeted and the business is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven’t cast aside this classic game?

The answer is on the net. Players are now realizing that they can wager on bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and smoke and in the end, have a chance at huge cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on on the internet will never replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the rules have left a good many bingo players with no option.
