An abundance has been reported in the papers recently about the bingo industry struggling as a result of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Things have grown so poor that in Scotland the Bingo industry has demanded big aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. But can the internet variation of this classic game offer a escape, or might it not compare to its real life relative?
Bingo is an familiar game generally played by the "blue rinse" generation. For all that the game lately had seen a recent increase in appeal with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo halls in place of the clubs on a Friday night. This is all about to get flipped on its head with the enacting of the anti cigarette law around Britain.
Players will no longer be allowed to puff on cigarettes whilst dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 every public place will no longer be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most favored locations where folks like to puff on cigarettes.
The outcome of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where cigarettes are already prohibited in the bingo halls. Numbers have plummeted and the industry is absolutely fighting for to stay alive. But where have all the players gone? Of course they have not given up on this established game?
The answer is on the net. People are now realizing that they can participate in bingo from their computer whilst enjoying a drink and cigarette and in the end, enjoy monstrous prizes. This is a recent anomaly and has timed itself bordering on perfect with the ban on cigarettes.
Of course wagering on on the web will never replace the social portion of going down to the bingo hall, but for a demographic of people the law has left a good many bingo players with little choice.
