An abundance has been reported in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive tax cuts to assist in keeping the businesses afloat. However does the web adaptation of this classic game present a escape, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?

Bingo is an ancient game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had experienced a recent comeback in acceptance with younger men and women opting to visit the bingo parlors instead of the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to change with the introduction of the cigarette ban across Britain.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke whilst marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of '07 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular places where people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plunged and the business is literally struggling for its life. But where did the players go? Surely they have not deserted this classic game?

The answer is online. Gamblers realise that they can wager on bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and fag and in the end, have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on on the net could never replace the collective part of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the rules have left a lot of bingo players with no choice.
