A lot has been written in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry struggling because of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive tax breaks to help keep the industry alive. However does the net version of this traditional game provide a escape, or will it never compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo is an ancient game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had undergone a recent return in popularity with younger people deciding to visit the bingo halls in place of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the legislating of the smoking ban all over UK.

Players will no longer be allowed to puff on cigarettes whilst marking numbers. From the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored places where many people like to puff on cigarettes.

The effects of the cigarette ban can already be observed in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo halls. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Obviously they have not forgotten this ancient game?

The answer is on the net. Players know that they can wager on bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on on the net is unlikely to replace the communal part of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the rules have left many bingo players with no choice.
