Today more and more people get familiar with online bingo, but what most people doesn’t seem to know much about is the historical development of the popular game.

Bingo is a very old game dating back to Italy in the year of 1530 when the Italians played a game known as Lo Giucco del D'Italia.

It didn’t take long before the game got to France. However, the French developed the game into their very own version called Le Lotto. This game was solely for the rich men and women were banned to play the game together with the men.

In 1880 the game moved on to Germany, where the game with the many numbers was used as a teaching tool for kids.

Thus, a lot of early versions of Bingo were played in all sort of versions in different countries of Europe, but bingo, as we know the game today, has its roots in the US.

In 1929, in the Southern states of the United States people played a game called “Beano”. The game was called “Beano” because the participants placed a dry bean on their bingo cards if they had the number that the caller shouted out. If a player could form a line of dry beans on the bingo card, he or she would yell “Beano”.

The change from “Beano” to “Bingo” became a reality when Edwin S. Lowe, who was a sales man in New York, came across the game and saw a big potential in it. Thus, he hired a Columbia mathematics professor to help him increase the combination of numbers on the bingo cards to 6,000. Since Edwin S. Lowe changed the game of bingo into the game as we know it today, bingo has developed even more. Thus, it is not any longer a game played in traditional bingo halls. Today it has moved on to be a popular online gambling game played by a huge amount of fans all over the world.
