Much has been reported in the papers just a while ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues because of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge tax cuts to assist in keeping the businesses alive. However will the web variation of this classic game provide a lifeline, or will it never compare to its real life kin?

Bingo has been an ancient game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game of late had witnessed a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the introduction of the cigarette ban across Britain.

No more will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public area will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most favored locations where folks like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Profits have dropped and the business is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Certainly they have not deserted this enduring game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a cocktail and smoke and in the end, enjoy monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has timed itself just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course playing on the net can never replace the social part of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the law has left a good many bingo players with little alternative.
