Bingo is one of the oldest gambling games in the history of the world. Bingo has originated from the first lottery in human history, the Italian national lottery. From Italy it moved to France where bingo was developed even further and has began looking more and more like the bingo we know and love. After France bingo has moved to Germany where it was called beano, as it was played with beans. The beans used to mark the squares. Each time someone had to mark a number on his card he would place a bean on it.

Bingo has arrived to America thanks to a German carnival. The German carnival has brought along a stand of beano. The game has drawn so much attention that it caught the eye of a smart American sales-person. From there the road to bingo was all set. Bingo quickly became a very popular social game.

Bingo became a huge hit in the high-society parties. The name bingo itself was a result of mispronunciation during a game. A bingo player has screamed beano, but from all the excitement she ended up inventing the modern name of bingo.
