A lot has been written in the press recently regarding 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 requested big tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However can the web version of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its land based relative?
Bingo has been an familiar game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had experienced a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society deciding to hit the bingo parlors in place of the bars on a weekend. This is all about to change with the enacting of the anti cigarette law throughout Britain.
No longer will enthusiasts be allowed to smoke while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public locations will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored locations where people like to puff on cigarettes.
The results of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the industry is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Surely they haven’t forgotten this established game?
The answer is online. Players know that they can play bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and cig and in the end, have a chance at monstrous prizes. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.
Of course gambling on on the web is unlikely to replace the social portion of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of players the rules have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
