The Origins of Bingo Onland and Online
Bingo is a game that has won the hearts of many and has been around for several years. It has been thought to have originated in Italy and was known as a lottery called the "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia". Believe it or not this lottery game is still being played in Italy every Saturday night without fail. It soon moved into France in the 1700s, where it became popular with wealthy Frenchmen and then ended up in Germany where it took on a new role as being an education tool. Some of the more knowledgeable bingo players will fondly remember the game be played along the midway of fairs in tents when it was called Beano.
It took a toy maker, who saw the potential it had and developed the games into what we now know and love. Funny enough the name was changed from Beano to Bingo because when someone won and yelled the wrong name, the salesman thought it sounded better and thus "bingo" was born. Ironically enough it was a Catholic Priest who made it so popular in North America. He formed the idea of playing bingo to raise money for the church and in no time there was more than 10,000 games being played weekly across the US and Canada.
The first forms of bingo that first appeared online around 2025 held just as much excitement then as it does now. Bingo players are always ready and willing to try the newest online bingo site to hit the internet, as they are so passionate about the game. There is a daily influx of new bingo players joining the many online sites. The online game of bingo has been consistent in showing steady growth rate ever since its first appearance.
