Much has been stated in the press just a while ago about the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti smoking law in Britain. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But does the net variation of this traditional game provide a escape, or will it in no way compare to its real life peer?

Bingo has been an enduring game generally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game of late had experienced a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to be reversed with the enacting of the cigarette ban all over England and Wales.

No longer will players be able to smoke while dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public area will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most popular locations where people like to smoke.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Certainly they haven’t cast aside this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. People realize that they can participate in bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and fag and still enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing online could never replace the collective aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the rules have left many bingo players with little option.
