Much has been reported in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the smoking ban in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But will the internet adaptation of this traditional game present a escape, or will it not compare to its real life kin?
Bingo is an classic game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had experienced a recent return in appeal with younger people opting to go to the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a Saturday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti cigarette law all over United Kingdom.
Players will no longer be able to smoke while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favorite areas where folks enjoy smoking.
The results of the anti smoking law can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Surely they have not abandoned this enduring game?
The answer is on the net. People realize that they can gamble on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a beer and fag and in the end, enjoy huge prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course playing on the net could never replace the social part of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of people the rules have left many bingo players with little alternative.
