June 11th, 2011 | Author:

Bingo is a casino game where bingo card is used. It has five columns and five rows and on top it is named as B, I, N, G, O. The player has to buy the cards and the caller selects the number randomly and if the player has the same number he will win the game.

It is very simple but it has very old history. Around 16th century, the merchants in Italy moves all around the world and for their entertainment they created this game. It was known as lotto which is Italian term of lottery. It was much simpler than the game which is played in modern generation. The merchants while travelling spread the game all over the world.

In almost 18th century the game came to France and become very popular. It was quite same as the game we are playing today. The bingo cards used at that time was having three horizontal and nine vertical rows.

The time when it went to Germany, it becomes a part of educational tool for children. The numbers were replaced by the animals and historical events.

When the game of lotto went to the United States, it becomes a part of carnivals. And the name changed from lotto to beano. In around 1939 a toy salesman named Edwin Lowe noticed that the game is very much popular in people and so he decided to make profit by creating his own copy and succeeded.

After Lowe’s beano it changed its name as bingo. It was having 12 or 24 cards and number tokens. It become difficult to create new bingo cards as the bingo card was having only numbers.  So Lowe added the word B-I-N-G-O on top of the card and it was great advantage to create millions and millions of unique bingo cards.

Now the bingo which you are playing online, is real casino, in live casino, all are same and very much popular. There are thousands of online rooms were many people are enjoying the world of bingo.
