The fun game, Bingo, started back in 1953 in Spain. It was then named “Lo Giuoco Code Loto”. From this, the game evolved. Bingo was used for teaching. Actually, until now it serves as a tool for children to educate them in spelling, math, etc. In 1929 at Atlanta, the game Beano, which is similar to Lo Giuoco Code Loto, was part of the attractions in a carnival and this game uses rubber stamp, beans and cardboard.
Edwin Lowe brought this game to New York since he saw how the people in the carnival enjoyed so much that they even wanted to stay even after closing time. While Edwin and his friends were playing the game, one of them shouted “Bingo” in excitement instead of “Beano”. This is where the game bingo started. It became well-known until it became the game we are all used to and still continues to mature.
Just like most casino games, bingo is also a game of luck. The numbers are randomly drawn out from a container by a non-player, called the caller. The players should match the numbers selected to the bingo card or cards they have. A bingo card is composed of grids with random numbers inside the box. On top of each column, the word “B I N G O” is formed. The bingo card is usually printed on a paper or cardboard. The caller first announces the letter of the column followed by the number. This will go on until a player shouts “Bingo”, which means the card he owns has the letter-number combinations which were called out and formed the pattern specified for that particular game. If it is already confirmed that there is a winner, a new game will be started, which can be a continuation of the previous game meaning same bingo card will be used but with a different pattern to be formed, or a whole new set of games.
The evolution of Bingo does not stop here. With the emergence of technology and with everything in the World Wide Web, it is actually not surprising that playing bingo online will be possible.
