Bingo – an easy and enjoyable way to raise money!
Bingo is an enjoyable and pleasant way to spend free time among many people. Its rules are very simple. And its history is worthy of attention.
The game was invented in Italy during the 1530s. even today it is still played in Italy every Saturday. Bingo came to France only in the 1770s. At those times this game was played only by wealthy Frenchmen. And soon the game spread all over the European continent. In Germany it was a popular way of teaching children that helped them to learn history, spelling and math.
In 1929 the game reached the continent of Northern America, Atlanta, Georgia. It was called here as “beano”. It was played mostly during the fairs and carnivals all over the country. Each player got his cards, which had numbered squares, and some dried beans. The card had three rows and nine columns. There was a so-called caller who drew discs with numbers from a cigar box or a bag randomly. The discs were numbered from 1 to 90. Then he shouted the number he drawn out from the bag to the waiting people. The players used their beans to cover up the matching number on the card. A person who was the first to cover up an entire row of numbers was a winner of the game. When it happened, the player needed to shout loudly “beano” to make everyone know he was a winner.
One day Edwin S. Lowe, a New York toy salesman, was visiting a country fair, where he say people playing this game and heard when one woman shouted “Bingo!” instead of “Beano”. She was in a hurry, trying to tell everyone that she had covered all her numbers, she became tongue-tied and shouted a wrong word. This story inspired Lowe and he came back to New York and decided to develop and market a new game – Bingo!
There is a story in the history when Bingo promotions could help a priest from Pennsylvania raise some needed funds for his church. What he did was running Bingo games in his church. But soon he understood that there is a problem: there were often too many winners! Together with a math professor, Carl Leffer, they worked heard to think over the solution. Eventually they decided to increase the amount of Bingo combinations.
That game became very popular all over the world. It is known as an enjoyable way of spending free time and easy way of earning money.
