An abundance has been stated in the press recently concerning the bingo industry struggling because of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge tax cuts to help keep the businesses alive. But does the online adaptation of this classic game provide a escape, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar opposite?
Bingo has been an enduring game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game recently had seen a recent comeback in popularity with younger members of society opting to hit the bingo halls rather than the bars on a Saturday night. All this is about to change with the introduction of the anti smoking law across Britain.
Players will no longer be permitted to smoke at the same time marking off their numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public area will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most common places where players like to puff on cigarettes.
The outcome of the anti smoking law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlours. Players have dropped and the business is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not given up on this ancient game?
The answer is online. People realize that they can bet on bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a beverage and cig and still enjoy huge jackpots. This is a recent development and has timed itself just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.
Of course gambling on on the net is unlikely to replace the communal portion of heading over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the rules have left a lot of bingo players with little alternative.
