Much has been reported in the papers just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt because of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have become so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive tax cuts to assist in keeping the businesses alive. But does the online version of this quintessential game offer a reprieve, or might it never compare to its land based kin?

Bingo is an age old game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game of late had witnessed a recent increase in popularity with younger members of society opting to visit the bingo halls rather than the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the introduction of the cigarette ban throughout Britain.

No longer will gamblers be permitted to puff on cigarettes whilst marking off their numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favorite places where people like to puff on cigarettes.

The results of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Certainly they have not forgotten this familiar game?

The answer is online. Players know that they can gamble on bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beverage and cig and still enjoy monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself almost perfectly with the ban on smoking.

Of course playing on the net is unlikely to replace the collective part of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of people the law has left a number of bingo players with no alternative.
