Might the Anti Cigarette Law in England Force Bingo Players On to the Web?
Much has been written in the papers not long ago regarding the bingo industry singing the blues as a consequence of the anti smoking law in Britain. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has asked for huge aid to help keep the industry from going bankrupt. However will the online version of this traditional game provide a salvation, or will it in no way compare to its bricks and mortar relative?
Bingo has been an classic game normally enjoyed by the "blue rinse" generation. Although the game recently had undergone a recent resurgence in acceptance with younger men and women opting to hit the bingo parlours rather than the clubs on a weekend. This is all about to be destroyed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law all over Britain.
No longer will gamblers be allowed to smoke while dabbing numbers. From the summer of 2007 all public areas will not be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo halls, one of the most common locations where folks enjoy smoking.
The outcome of the cigarette ban can already be looked at in Scotland where smoking is already not permitted in the bingo halls. Numbers have plunged and the business is beyond a doubt fighting for to stay alive. But where have the players gone? Obviously they haven’t deserted this established game?
The answer is on the net. Gamblers are now realizing that they can participate in bingo in front of their computer while enjoying a drink and cig and in the end, have a chance at monstrous jackpots. This is a recent anomaly and has happened almost perfectly with the anti cigarette law.
Of course gambling on on the web could never replace the communal portion of going over to the bingo parlor, but for a demographic of men and women the governing edicts have left a good many bingo enthusiasts with little alternative.
