Much has been talked in the press recently about the bingo industry being hurt as a consequence of the anti cigarette law in England. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded huge tax breaks to assist in keeping the industry from going bankrupt. But does the online variation of this quintessential game offer a lifeline, or might it not compare to its real life kin?
Bingo has been an enduring game historically played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had witnessed a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger members of society opting to hit the bingo halls instead of the bars on a Saturday night. This is all about to be reversed with the introduction of the cigarette ban around United Kingdom.
No longer will enthusiasts be permitted to smoke at the same time marking numbers. Starting in the summer of 2007 every public place will not be allowed to permit cigarettes in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored places where folks like to puff on cigarettes.
The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already banned in the bingo parlors. Players have dropped and the industry is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Certainly they have not given up on this age old game?
The answer is on the internet. People are now realizing that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer whilst enjoying a drink and smoke and still enjoy monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course betting on on the internet can never replace the collective part of going down to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the law has left a number of bingo enthusiasts with no option.
