A Brief History of Bingo

Bingo's origins date back to 1530 and a lottery game called "What Giuoco Code Loto" which took place in Spain. He put the game almost 3 centuries to mature and in the eighteenth century many new dimensions were added to the game, such as chips and cards. Bingo became very popular in Germany, which was used to teach children basic math, spelling and names of animals, etc. This was a good learning aid for children, since the game is mixed with learning and children are absorbed in the game would end up learning the basics of vocabulary and math. In today's world is highly computerized and sophisticated game, the lottery is still holding its ground firmly. Milton Bradley comes to mind - who sells a lottery with Sesame Street Muppets, which provide children (ages 3-6) valuable lessons in mathematics and spelling through fun-filled hours to play lottery.

In 1929 in New York toy sales man, Edwin S. Lowe, while driving through Georgia met with a carnival. All booths at the fair were closed, except one that was full of people. When standing for longer managed to take a look at what was happening within the cab - he saw a U-shaped table with cards and beans. A person who seemed to be the pitchman pulled out wooden discs numbered from a box and shouted the numbers. Participants rushed to revise their paper (cardboard) to see if the number was also called on their cards. If so, put on a pimple on the number. This will continue until one of the participants achieved a standard horizontal, vertical or diagonal. The participant was shouting "Beano" and receive a Kewpie doll.

That night, Lowe tried to play bingo, but could not because of the crowd too. But he realized the excitement and joy of the people around you. Returning home New York tried to play bingo with his friends as he assumed the role of pitchman. The same level of excitement and euphoria has been achieved. Recalls one of his friends with a single number to win and how that number was called and the bean was added to your card, jumped on pure emotion, rather than saying she stammered Beano and shouting the word "BINGO."

"I can not describe the strange feeling of euphoria that claim that the girl who brought me," said Lowe, " All I could think was that was going out with this game, and was to be called Bingo! "

Lowe never tried the brand of Bingo and shortly after its great success many imitators came to take advantage of the hit game. Lowe decided not to sue imitators and only asked me to pay one U.S. dollar year. They did so because he was a pretty small price to pay to avoid litigation. Since then it became the generic name and today called BINGO!
