A lot has been written in the papers not long ago about the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the anti smoking law in England. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However will the web version of this classic game present a reprieve, or will it not compare to its real life opposite?
Bingo has been an ancient game generally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game recently had undergone a recent comeback in acceptance with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a weekend. All this is about to be reversed with the introduction of the anti cigarette law throughout Britain.
Players will no longer be allowed to smoke whilst marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public area will not be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favored places where people enjoy smoking.
The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be felt in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have the players gone? Surely they have not given up on this familiar game?
The answer is on the net. Gamblers realise that they can wager on bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a cocktail and cig and in the end, have a chance at big jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.
Of course playing on the internet can never replace the social aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of people the law has left a number of bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
