An abundance has been stated in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the cigarette ban in the UK. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However will the net version of this classic game provide a reprieve, or might it not compare to its bricks and mortar peer?

Bingo has been an established game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game lately had undergone a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlours instead of the clubs on a weekend. All this is about to change with the legislating of the anti cigarette law across England and Wales.

No longer will enthusiasts be allowed to puff on cigarettes at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where folks enjoy smoking.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already barred in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have all the players gone? Obviously they have not forgotten this established game?

The answer is on the internet. Players are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and cig and in the end, have a chance at monstrous jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the web is unlikely to replace the communal part of heading over to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of men and women the rules have left a good many bingo players with little choice.
