Will the Anti Cigarette Law in the United Kingdom Force Bingo Enthusiasts On to the Net?

Much has been stated in the press just a while ago regarding the bingo industry being hit as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for massive aid to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. However can the web variation of this classic game present a reprieve, or might it in no way compare to its real life kin?
Bingo has been an ancient game usually played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game of late had seen a recent increase in acceptance with younger people deciding to go to the bingo parlors in place of the discos on a Saturday night. All this is about to be reversed with the enacting of the anti cigarette law throughout United Kingdom.
Players will no longer be able to smoke while dabbing numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public places will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlors, which are possibly the most favored areas where people like to puff on cigarettes.
The effects of the smoking ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already banned in the bingo halls. Players have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for its life. But where have all the players gone? Of course they haven’t forgotten this enduring game?
The answer is on the net. Players know that they can wager on bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a beer and fag and still have a chance at massive jackpots. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the anti cigarette law.
Of course gambling on on the web can never replace the collective part of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a group of players the law has left a good many bingo enthusiasts with no option.
