About National Bingo Month
Hobby , Finance & Banking
Fundraising Event , United States
Ends: Dec 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
International Bingo Month marks the anniversary of the promotion of the modern game of bingo (the one now associated with church basements), in December 1929, by toy salesman Edwin S. Lowe.
First seen at a carnival, the game became an answer for creating income at the onset of the Great Depression. It was a hit! The original name was 'Beano.' It became bingo due to mispronunciation. Initially, players used beans to cover the numbers called. Today we use stamps.
Lowe used two methods, one with twelve cards and one with 24 cards, charging $1 and $2, respectively.
But Lowe wasn't the originator of bingo.
The game was first played in 1530s Italy and was a lottery called Lo Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia. Over the centuries, it spread throughout Europe and morphed into several different formats, from educational to gambling. Today it is often associated with fundraising and senior citizens.
No matter what you call it, bingo is beloved by millions worldwide.
