WHAT IS REALLY BINGO?

Bingo is a Game of chances, it is played by 2 or more players in which each player matches numbers printed in different arrangements on 5×5 cards with the numbers the game host draws at random, marking the selected numbers with tiles.

if a player finds the selected numbers are arranged on their card in a row, they call out the "Bingo!" to alert the other players to a winning card, which prompts the game host to examine the card for verification of the win.

Bingo is a fun packed game for everyone, where players compete against each other to be the first to have a winning arrangement for the prize or jackpot.

After a successful win, the players clear the card to begins a new round of play.

HISTORY OF BINGO

Bingo was invented in 1929, and modern bingo has evolved into multiple variations. In the nineteenth century a game like this was widely played in Germany to teach children spelling, animal names and multiplication tables.

The French game Le Lottoappeared in 1778, featuring 27 squares in a layout of three rows and nine columns. Five squares in each row had numbers ranging from 1 through 90, which led to the modern design, and in the early 1920s, Hugh J. Ward created and standardized the game in which the game was further popularized by Edwin Lowe. He saw people eagerly playing a game called "Beano" following Ward's rules, with dried beans, a rubber stamp, and cardboard sheets.

Lowe took the game to New York where friends liked playing it. The Lowe-produced Bingo game had two versions, a 12-card set for $1.00 and a $2.00 set with 24 cards. By the 1940s there were Bingo games throughout the US.

The actual origin of the name Bingo is unknown but may date to the middle 1920s. There are claims that one of Lowe's friends was so excited to have won that she yelled out "Bingo" instead of "Beano," or that the word echoes the sound of a bell.
