Did you know that “Bingo” was originally called “Beano”? This was because in the U.S. it started out as a fair game where numbered disks where pulled by a dealer from a cigar box and if you had the number he called then you would cover it with a bean and yell “beano” if you won. After the game spread to a carnival near Atlanta, GA the game was renamed after someone accidentally called out “Bingo” when he won. By the 1940’s Bingo spread throughout the country. Today there are Bingo halls where you can play and it is also available online. Many people play Bingo at home just for fun with family or friends, while others play for prizes or money. The general rules for bingo today are quite easy, you get your numbered Bingo card, wait while one person calls out a letter and number and then you place a marker over that number. You can either play until you have filled a row or you can play “blackout” Bingo where the entire card must be filled. Then, of course, you yell “BINGO”.
