An abundance has been talked in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry being hit as a result of the smoking ban in England. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for big tax breaks to assist in keeping the businesses afloat. However can the net version of this quintessential game offer a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?

Bingo has been an age old game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had undergone a recent comeback in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo halls instead of the bars on a Friday night. All this is about to change with the introduction of the anti cigarette law throughout United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public locations will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favored locations where people enjoy smoking.

The effects of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlours. Players have plunged and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Surely they haven’t abandoned this familiar game?

The answer is on the web. Players realize that they can gamble on bingo using their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and smoke and in the end, enjoy massive prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course betting on on the internet can never replace the communal aspect of going over to the bingo hall, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
