B-I-N-G-O! Remember the days of waiting to get off
work, fighting traffic, planning ahead to make sure that all things were set
for your weekly bingo night? Those days are long gone, but not
forgotten! Of course, nothing can replace actually being at your local
bingo hall, but with the technology of online bingo, some of the
complications involved with arriving in time for the early birds are now a
thing of the past! Online bingo offers the ease of being at home while
still participating in your favorite pastime. Feed the kids, cook
dinner, save gas, avoid traffic, don't miss that winning bingo card because
you didn't daub a spot! Those are just some of the perks of online
bingo.
Bingo is originally derived from a game called "Beano",
but can be traced even further back to an Italian lottery game called "Lo
Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia". It is by accident that it got the name
"Bingo".
During one of his travels, Edwin S. Lowe (a toy
salesman) stumbled upon this game and kept it's name as Bingo after hearing
a tongue-tied player accidentally yelled out Bingo instead of Beano.
There is much, much more to the history of bingo.
Online sites specializing in bingo can provide a wealth of bingo facts,
bingo lingo, bingo trivia and more. Bingo is a game enjoyed by all
generations. Not only is it fun, but it can be integrated
educationally as well.
