A lot has been written in the papers recently about the bingo industry being hurt as a result of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big tax breaks to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the internet variation of this quintessential game provide a lifeline, or will it never compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an age old game normally played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had seen a recent resurgence in appeal with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the smoking ban across UK.

Players will no longer be allowed to smoke at the same time marking numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favored areas where many people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven't given up on this ancient game?

The answer is on the internet. People know that they can play bingo using their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and in the end, enjoy big prizes. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course gambling on on the internet could never replace the collective aspect of going down to the bingo hall, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a good many bingo players with little alternative.
