THE HISTORY OF BINGO - MGM BINGO PRESENTS A SHORT
HISTORICAL!The origins of Bingo can be
traced back to the year 1530 in which a State run
lottery game Lo Giuco de Lotto was originated. The game
is still held every Saturday in Italy. "Le Lotto"
migrated to France in the late 1700s in a form similar
to the Bingo we know today, with a playing card, tokens
and numbers read aloud.
Throughout the 1800's these lottery type of games
spread quickly throughout Europe and many offshoots of
the game were created. One popular form of game had a
player's card divided into 3 horizontal rows and 9
vertical ones. The first vertical row contained the
numbers from 1 to 10, the second from 11 to 20, and so
on until 81-90 on the ninth vertical row. The 3
horizontal rows each contained five squares with numbers
in them and 4 blank ones. The caller would then draw
from a bag of wooden chips numbered from 1 to 90. The
object of the game was to be the first to completely
cover one of the 3 horizontal rows. The blank squares
were considered free squares much like the free square
in the Bingo cards of today.
In 1929, a game called "Beano" was played at a
carnival near Atlanta, Georgia. The bingo game's tools
consisted of dried beans, a rubber number stamp and some
cardboard. A New York toy salesman named Edwin Lowe,
observed the game where players exclaimed "BEANO!" if
they filled a line of numbers on their card. Lowe
introduced the game to his friends in New York where one
of them mistakenly yelled "BINGO!" in her excitement .
"Lowe's Bingo" was soon very popular and Lowe asked
competitors to pay him $1 per year to allow them to call
their games Bingo as well.
By the 1940's Bingo games had sprung up all over the
country with thousands of games being played every week.
Today Bingo games can be found just about anywhere. |
