Much has been talked in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues because of the smoking ban in Britain. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However will the net variation of this classic game offer a lifeline, or might it never compare to its real life equivalent?
Bingo is an age old game generally played by the "blue rinse" generation. In any case the game of late had experienced a recent return in popularity with younger people opting to hit the bingo parlors instead of the discos on a Friday night. All this is about to change with the legislating of the smoking ban around Britain.
No longer will players be allowed to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public places will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, which are possibly the most popular places where many people enjoy smoking.
The effects of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already illegal in the bingo parlors. Players have plummeted and the business is literally fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Of course they have not abandoned this classic game?
The answer is online. Gamblers know that they can play bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beer and cig and in the end, enjoy massive jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.
Of course wagering on on the internet can never replace the social portion of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of people the governing edicts have left a number of bingo players with no alternative.
