Bingo goes as far back as the mid 15 Century in Italy, where the local Italians called it “Lo Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia”. This was the game to play back then and usually would be played on the weekends with friends and people in the neighbouring towns. Over time the popularity grew and was introduced to France around the end of the 17 Century, but the French had called it something else, “Le Lotto” but was only played by the elite of France. All over Europe every country had its own twist on the game even the German’s used the game to help the young kids at math, spelling and history.

America was one of the last countries to pick up this fun game in the early 19 Century and the name of Bingo was called “beano”. It started off as a county far game where you would get tickets from a cigar box and mark the cards with beans. Who ever won would shout out “BEANO”. In America it was originally played around Atlanta, Georgia, but it was up until a salesman named Edwin Lowe overheard somebody yell out “Bingo” by accident and thought it would be cleaver idea to change the name. And to change the look of the game so Edwin Lowe asked a professor named, Carl Leffler, to help switch up the game a bit by increasing the overall numbers and combinations on the bingo cards. As time passed Bingo was taking off extremely fast and he had invented over 6000 bingo cards.
