www.sharonsbingo.com – We all love playing bingo and it’s easily Britains favourite past time but it’s easy to forget just how long the game has been played. Bingo is the oldest numbers game in the world and it’s where other great games and our own lottery games originate.
Originally called Beano in America, due to the fact that players used Beans to cover their numbers, the game was a popular country game with numbered disks selected from an old Guitar tin.
However the game can be traced back even further than that, and is thought to have its origins in Italy. In 1530 (yes as long ago as that) an Italian lottery called ‘LO Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia’ was launched, it’s still played every Saturday in the country and is thought to be where bingo originally started.
Of course now, with the launch of online bingo, bingo really is big money but it’s been played for generations in bingo halls, village halls and community centres. It’s thought that Bingo has paid for more church roofs than any other form of fundraising.
So next time you log onto your favourite online bingo hall for your high tech game of bingo, just take a moment to remember the games humble beginnings and how it’s been entertaining generations for thousands of years.
