An abundance has been stated in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge tax cuts to assist in keeping the industry afloat. But can the internet variation of this classic game provide a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its real life peer?

Bingo has been an familiar game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had undergone a recent return in popularity with younger people opting to visit the bingo parlors instead of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the enacting of the cigarette ban around United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 all public areas will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular places where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo halls. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for its life. But where did the players go? Surely they have not cast aside this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. Gamblers realize that they can play bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and in the end, enjoy massive cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on on the web could never replace the social part of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left many bingo players with little alternative.
