A lot has been written in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a result of the cigarette ban in the UK. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge aid to help keep the businesses alive. However does the net adaptation of this classic game present a lifeline, or will it in no way compare to its real life peer?

Bingo has been an established game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had undergone a recent increase in acceptance with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo parlors instead of the clubs on a Saturday night. This is all about to be reversed with the introduction of the smoking ban all over England and Wales.

No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to smoke while marking numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public place will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most favorite areas where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they haven’t forgotten this familiar game?

The answer is online. Gamblers realise that they can participate in bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and smoke and still enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.

Of course wagering on on the net could never replace the communal portion of going down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left a number of bingo players with little alternative.
