Bingo History
Thursday, 25 September 2008 03:28

Bingo in its early forms has been traced way back to Italy in the 1530s where it was played as a form of lottery called “Lo Giuoco Code Lotto”. In 1778 a similar lotto game was recorded as having been played by aristocrats in France. In 1880 the game emerged in Germany and was used as an aid for teaching rather than a form of gambling.

In 1929, salesman Edwin S. Lowe, after watching carnival workers playing a game they called “beano”, saw the great potential in the game. He modified it and introduced the game that he renamed “Bingo” to the United States. Bingo was used by the church for charitable purposes, increasing the games popularity until in 1968 it became included in the Gaming Act.

Online bingo is a more recent addition to the many online gaming establishments that now include it in their itinerary,, gaining popularity especially in the UK where Bingo has become a hugely popular game.
