Much has been stated in the papers recently regarding the bingo industry being hit as a result of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge tax cuts to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the internet variation of this quintessential game provide a lifeline, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar relative?

Bingo has been an enduring game historically enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent comeback in popularity with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo halls rather than the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to be reversed with the enacting of the cigarette ban across Britain.

Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of '07 every public location will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favorite locations where players like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Players have plummeted and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Of course they haven't given up on this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. Players realise that they can play bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and cig and in the end, have a chance at monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on online could never replace the communal part of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the rules have left a lot of bingo players with little choice.
