One of his friends allegedly yelled “Bingo” instead of Beano when she won, so a modern version of the game with that name was created.Īlthough we’re well aware of the history of Bingo, we were unable to find out who invented Bingo’s Birthday Month.
The game would be popularized by Edwin Lowe after he saw people playing Beano at a traveling carnival near Atlanta, Georgia. He would end up copyrighting it and published a rule book on it in the early 1930s. In the United States, a similar game to Italian lotto was created by Hugh J. In France, a similar game known as Le Lotto appeared during the 18th century and in the 19th century, the game of bingo was adopted to teach children their multiplication tables and spelling. It was originally played in Italy from 1530 on and eventually circulated around Europe. Lotto is a game that goes all the way back to the first half of the 16th century.
This is a great month for people to familiarize themselves with an old classic and go to some games with friends and family members. There are also commercial bingo games that can be found at casinos located in the state of Nevada, or in Native American bingo halls located on reservations across the country.
