Online Casinos vs. Betting on Bingo Internet Casinos vs. Gambling on Bingo
Sep 242021

A lot has been reported in the press not long ago about the bingo industry struggling as a result of the cigarette ban in Britain. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge tax breaks to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. But will the online adaptation of this classic game offer a lifeline, or will it not compare to its land based kin?

Bingo has been an classic game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game lately had experienced a recent increase in appeal with younger people opting to visit the bingo halls rather than the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the introduction of the anti smoking law across United Kingdom.

No more will gamblers be allowed to smoke at the same time dabbing numbers. From the summer of ‘07 all public locations will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most popular areas where people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the smoking ban can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo parlors. Numbers have dropped and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not deserted this established game?

The answer is online. People realize that they can bet on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, have a chance at monstrous prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course wagering on on the web is unlikely to replace the social part of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the law has left a good many bingo players with little option.
