Much has been talked in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the cigarette ban in England. Things have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to help keep the businesses alive. However will the web adaptation of this traditional game offer a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its land based kin?

Bingo has been an familiar game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game lately had experienced a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo halls in place of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the anti smoking law all over England and Wales.

No longer will enthusiasts be allowed to smoke whilst dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favorite places where players enjoy smoking.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Of course they haven’t cast aside this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can enjoy bingo from their computer while enjoying a beer and smoke and still have a chance at huge jackpots. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course wagering on on the web is unlikely to replace the collective portion of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of players the law has left a lot of bingo players with no choice.
