An abundance has been talked in the press not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a result of the cigarette ban in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the internet variation of this traditional game present a escape, or will it not compare to its land based peer?

Bingo is an established game normally played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had undergone a recent return in appeal with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlors in place of the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to be reversed with the introduction of the cigarette ban around United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favorite locations where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo halls. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they haven’t forgotten this familiar game?

The answer is on the net. Players realise that they can bet on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a beer and fag and still enjoy monstrous prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.

Of course gambling on on the internet will never replace the social part of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of people the rules have left a lot of bingo players with little option.
