A lot has been reported in the press recently concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a result of the anti smoking law in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the net version of this traditional game provide a salvation, or will it not compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo is an classic game normally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent increase in appeal with younger people deciding to visit the bingo parlours instead of the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the cigarette ban across Britain.

No longer will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public area will not be permitted to allow smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favorite areas where people like to smoke.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlors. Profits have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where did the players go? Of course they have not abandoned this enduring game?

The answer is online. Players know that they can enjoy bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and cig and in the end, have a chance at massive prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on on the internet can never replace the social portion of heading down to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the rules have left a number of bingo players with no choice.
