An abundance has been stated in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry struggling as a result of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big aid to assist in keeping the businesses alive. But can the internet adaptation of this classic game offer a salvation, or might it in no way compare to its land based peer?
Bingo has been an enduring game generally played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game of late had undergone a recent return in acceptance with younger members of society opting to hit the bingo parlors rather than the discos on a weekend. This is all about to be reversed with the enacting of the smoking ban all over Britain.
Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most popular locations where players like to smoke.
The results of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is absolutely struggling for its life. But where did all the players go? Surely they have not cast aside this age old game?
The answer is on the web. People know that they can bet on bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and fag and still have a chance at monstrous prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.
Of course betting on on the net is unlikely to replace the communal portion of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a number of bingo players with no choice.
