Much has been talked in the papers recently concerning the bingo industry being hurt as a result of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have become so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded massive aid to help keep the businesses afloat. However does the online adaptation of this traditional game present a salvation, or might it not compare to its land based peer?
Bingo has been an classic game historically enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. For all that the game of late had witnessed a recent return in appeal with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlors instead of the discos on a weekend. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the introduction of the smoking ban across United Kingdom.
Players will no longer be permitted to puff on cigarettes at the same time dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favored areas where folks enjoy smoking.
The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already barred in the bingo halls. Players have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where have the players gone? Certainly they haven’t cast aside this ancient game?
The answer is on the web. People know that they can gamble on bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a beer and smoke and still have a chance at massive jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened bordering on perfect with the ban on smoking.
Of course betting on on the internet is unlikely to replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo hall, but for a group of players the governing edicts have left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no choice.
