A lot has been stated in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge tax cuts to help keep the industry alive. However will the net version of this quintessential game offer a escape, or will it in no way compare to its real life kin?
Bingo is an established game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had undergone a recent increase in popularity with younger members of society opting to hit the bingo parlours in place of the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the smoking ban throughout Britain.
No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public place will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored areas where folks enjoy smoking.
The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not cast aside this familiar game?
The answer is on the web. Players are now realizing that they can wager on bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and still enjoy massive prizes. This is a recent development and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course gambling on on the net could never replace the social portion of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the law has left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
