A lot has been talked in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti smoking law in the UK. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to assist in keeping the businesses afloat. However can the web variation of this quintessential game offer a escape, or might it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an established game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had undergone a recent increase in appeal with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti smoking law across United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. From the summer of ‘07 every public place will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most popular places where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the business is absolutely fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Of course they haven’t abandoned this established game?

The answer is online. Players are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo using their computer while enjoying a drink and cig and in the end, have a chance at big prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the web could never replace the social aspect of going over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no alternative.
