A lot has been talked in the press recently concerning the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But will the web version of this classic game provide a lifeline, or will it not compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?

Bingo is an familiar game historically played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had undergone a recent return in popularity with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a Friday night. All this is about to be destroyed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law throughout UK.

Players will no longer be able to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public places will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favorite locations where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlours. Profits have plummeted and the business is literally struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Surely they have not abandoned this age old game?

The answer is on the web. Players know that they can enjoy bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and cigarette and still enjoy monstrous jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.

Of course betting on on the web will never replace the social aspect of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a lot of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
