A lot has been reported in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit because of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the online variation of this traditional game offer a escape, or will it never compare to its real life kin?

Bingo is an age old game normally played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game of late had witnessed a recent return in appeal with younger men and women opting to visit the bingo parlors instead of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to change with the enacting of the anti cigarette law around Britain.

No more will enthusiasts be permitted to smoke whilst dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 every public location will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored areas where people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo halls. Profits have plunged and the industry is absolutely struggling for its life. But where did all the players go? Obviously they have not forgotten this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. Players realize that they can participate in bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a drink and smoke and still have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the web is unlikely to replace the collective aspect of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a lot of bingo players with no option.
