Much has been talked in the papers not long ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues because of the smoking ban in Britain. Things have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested big tax breaks to help keep the industry afloat. But can the web adaptation of this classic game present a salvation, or will it not compare to its land based peer?
Bingo has been an familiar game generally enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. Although the game recently had seen a recent increase in acceptance with younger men and women deciding to go to the bingo parlours in place of the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law throughout United Kingdom.
No more will gamblers be able to puff on cigarettes while marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 all public places will no longer be permitted to allow smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most favored places where many people like to puff on cigarettes.
The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already not allowed in the bingo parlours. Numbers have plummeted and the business is literally fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Of course they haven’t cast aside this enduring game?
The answer is on the internet. Players realize that they can bet on bingo from their computer at the same time enjoying a drink and smoke and still have a chance at huge cash rewards. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti smoking law.
Of course wagering on on the web is unlikely to replace the social aspect of heading down to the bingo parlour, but for a demographic of men and women the governing edicts have left many bingo enthusiasts with little choice.
