Much has been reported in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti smoking law in Britain. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for massive tax breaks to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the net version of this quintessential game offer a escape, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo is an enduring game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had seen a recent return in appeal with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlours in place of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to be reversed with the legislating of the smoking ban around Britain.

No more will players be permitted to smoke while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored locations where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlours. Profits have plunged and the business is absolutely fighting for its life. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven't abandoned this established game?

The answer is on the internet. Players are now realizing that they can wager on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and cig and in the end, enjoy massive cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself almost perfectly with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on online is unlikely to replace the communal aspect of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a good many bingo players with no choice.
