An abundance has been talked in the press not long ago regarding the bingo industry being hurt because of the cigarette ban in the United Kingdom. Conditions have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested massive aid to assist in keeping the industry afloat. However will the web adaptation of this quintessential game offer a escape, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar kin?

Bingo is an familiar game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. However the game lately had seen a recent comeback in appeal with younger members of society deciding to hit the bingo parlors instead of the clubs on a Saturday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enforcement of the smoking ban around UK.

Players will no longer be able to smoke while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public location will not be allowed to permit smoking in their venues and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most popular places where people enjoy smoking.

The results of the smoking ban can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo halls. Players have plummeted and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not forgotten this ancient game?

The answer is online. Players realise that they can wager on bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and cigarette and still have a chance at huge prizes. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on on the net could never replace the social aspect of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the law has left a number of bingo players with little choice.
