  • Bingo, a History

    Bingo finds its early roots in sixteenth century Italy, where a lottery game called Lo Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia originated. By the time the French caught onto the game, the lotto was played on cards containing three rows of five numbers. Ninety-one numbered chips were placed inside a cloth bag. A caller would reach into the bag, pull out a number and call it to out the players.Strange Life: Bingo History

    In the late 1920s the game made its way to North America. Called Beano at the time, it became a popular carnival and fair game. Upon winning a game, players would call out, "Beano!"

    Marketed by New York toy-seller, Edwin S. Lowe, he called the game Bingo after hearing a player mistakenly call out "Bingo," instead of "Beano!"Bingo.com: Origins of Bingo
