Bingo Guide
Online Bingo is the game of chance played on the internet on various online casinos worldwide. It was launched in 1996, and the first version of online bingo which was free was known as 'Bingo Zone'. Another pioneer for a free online game was Uproar that introduced 'Bingo Blitz' in 1998.
When it comes to the origin of the modern game which we know today, there are certain similarities with a game played in Italy called as 'Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia' which was popular around the 1530s. Later in France in the 18th-century tokens, playing cards and calling out of numbers were added. In the Germany around 19th-century similar games were played to children animal names, spelling and multiplication tables.
In 1778 in France appeared the game called as 'Le Lotto' which was featuring layout of twenty-seven squares divided into nine columns and three rows. Five squares in every row contained numbers from one to ninety which led to the modern game design known today.
'Beano' the Carnival Game
The game was further developed and popularized by Edwin Lowe. The Lowe-developed version of the game featured 12-card and 24-card sets. By the 1940s, Bingo games spread throughout the United States. The origin of the game's name is still unknown, but it may date to the middle of the 1920s from a similar game called 'Beano' which was widely played at various occasions featuring cardboard sheets, a rubber stamp, and dried beans. Tha game was later further developed and brought to different carnivals in and around the Western Pennsylvania area and Pittsburgh.
