Much has been reported in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti smoking law in Britain. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry alive. But does the internet adaptation of this classic game provide a escape, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?

Bingo has been an familiar game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game lately had witnessed a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society deciding to hit the bingo parlours rather than the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti smoking law across United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time marking numbers. From the summer of '07 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favored places where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo halls. Numbers have dropped and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Obviously they haven't deserted this classic game?

The answer is on the web. People realize that they can play bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and smoke and still enjoy monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course gambling on on the web can never replace the social portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of people the rules have left many bingo players with no choice.
