A lot has been reported in the press just a while ago about the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive tax cuts to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. But can the web version of this traditional game offer a escape, or might it never compare to its land based peer?

Bingo is an classic game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. However the game of late had seen a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to hit the bingo parlors instead of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to be destroyed with the legislating of the smoking ban all over United Kingdom.

Players will no longer be able to puff on cigarettes at the same time dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public location will not be permitted to allow smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most popular locations where people enjoy smoking.

The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already forbidden in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Of course they haven’t cast aside this familiar game?
