The History of Bingo
The original bingo game can be traced all the way back to the 1530s in Italy where the Italian citizens played a very similar game to bingo called “lotto”. The primary difference between lotto and the game that we know and love today, was that different to bingo boards, lotto boards were rectangular with three squares down and nine squares across for a total of 27 squares on the board. As lotto became more popular in the 19th century the game had eventually spread throughout Europe, where many of the games were advertised as educational games.
Bingo did not become popular in the United States until around 1929, when a traveling Columbus, OH salesman named Edward S. Lowe attended a carnival as he passed through Georgia. As Lowe walked through the carnival, he noticed a crowd of people playing a game with a hand stamped board and beans, he learned that the intriguing game was named “Beano”. When Lowe returned to Columbus, OH he started experimenting with the beano boards using numerical combinations, and then invited his friends to try out the game. Rumor has it that while Lowe and his friends played the game one of his friends accidentally yelled out “Bingo” instead of “beano” after winning a combination of numbers, and the new name has stuck ever since.
Shortly thereafter in the early 1930s, Lowe started manufacturing his own bingo boards with the help of a retired mathematician who was given the task to come up with 6,000 different number combinations for the boards. Once the boards were successfully completed and Lowe started selling them, bingo quickly rose in popularity, mainly being used at church events, fundraisers, and throughout communities. Till this day bingo is still one of the most popular gambling games played, which is pretty impressive considering that it originated around 490 years ago and has been prevalent in America since the 1930s.
