Much has been stated in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt because of the cigarette ban in the UK. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the online version of this classic game present a lifeline, or might it never compare to its real life equivalent?

Bingo has been an enduring game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had witnessed a recent increase in appeal with younger members of society deciding to hit the bingo halls rather than the clubs on a weekend. This is all about to be destroyed with the introduction of the smoking ban throughout United Kingdom.

No more will players be permitted to smoke whilst marking numbers. Starting in the summer of '07 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most common locations where folks like to smoke.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plunged and the business is literally fighting for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they have not cast aside this classic game?

The answer is online. Players are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and fag and still have a chance at huge prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the internet can never replace the collective aspect of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of men and women the rules have left many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
