An abundance has been stated in the papers just a while ago about the bingo industry struggling because of the anti smoking law in the UK. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However does the net version of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or might it not compare to its land based equivalent?

Bingo has been an established game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game lately had undergone a recent resurgence in appeal with younger members of society opting to go to the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the smoking ban across United Kingdom.

No longer will gamblers be allowed to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most common areas where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plunged and the business is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they haven't given up on this enduring game?

The answer is online. Gamblers realize that they can enjoy bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and smoke and still enjoy massive cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course betting on on the internet is unlikely to replace the social portion of going down to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left many bingo players with no choice.
