Much has been written in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a consequence of the anti smoking law in the UK. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But does the internet version of this traditional game present a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its land based peer?

Bingo has been an age old game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had witnessed a recent comeback in popularity with younger people opting to visit the bingo halls instead of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the cigarette ban all over UK.

No longer will players be allowed to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. From the summer of '07 every public location will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored locations where many people like to smoke.

The outcome of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlours. Numbers have dropped and the business is literally struggling for its life. But where have the players gone? Obviously they have not forgotten this age old game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers realise that they can bet on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and cigarette and still have a chance at massive prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course gambling on on the web will never replace the communal portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of players the rules have left many bingo players with little choice.
