An abundance has been talked in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the smoking ban in England. Conditions have grown so awful that in Scotland the Bingo industry has requested huge tax cuts to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But does the online adaptation of this quintessential game present a escape, or might it never compare to its real life opposite?
Bingo is an enduring game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. However the game recently had seen a recent resurgence in popularity with younger members of society deciding to visit the bingo halls instead of the bars on a weekend. All this is about to change with the legislating of the anti smoking law all over UK.
Players will no longer be allowed to smoke while marking off their numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 all public locations will no longer be permitted to allow cigarettes in their venues and this includes Bingo parlours, which are possibly the most favored areas where folks enjoy smoking.
The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be seen in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo parlors. Profits have plunged and the business is absolutely struggling for its life. But where have the players gone? Of course they haven’t cast aside this ancient game?
The answer is on the internet. Gamblers are now realizing that they can gamble on bingo using their computer whilst enjoying a beverage and smoke and in the end, enjoy huge cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened just about perfectly with the ban on smoking.
Of course gambling on on the web could never replace the social part of heading over to the bingo parlour, but for a group of players the law has left a good many bingo players with no choice.
