A lot has been written in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry being hit because of the anti cigarette law in the United Kingdom. Things have become so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for big aid to help keep the businesses from going bankrupt. But does the net adaptation of this quintessential game present a escape, or will it never compare to its real life opposite?
Bingo has been an enduring game generally played by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game lately had seen a recent increase in popularity with younger members of society deciding to go to the bingo parlors in place of the clubs on a Saturday night. This is all about to change with the legislating of the anti cigarette law all over England and Wales.
No longer will players be allowed to smoke while dabbing numbers. Beginning in the summer of 2007 all public areas will no longer be allowed to permit cigarettes in their locations and this includes Bingo parlors, one of the most popular locations where players like to puff on cigarettes.
The results of the anti cigarette law can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already illegal in the bingo parlors. Numbers have plunged and the industry is absolutely struggling for to stay alive. But where did the players go? Of course they haven’t cast aside this enduring game?
The answer is on the net. People realise that they can play bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a beer and cigarette and still have a chance at monstrous cash rewards. This is a recent development and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.
Of course wagering on online can never replace the collective part of heading down to the bingo parlor, but for a group of men and women the governing edicts have left many bingo players with no choice.
