The History of Bingo

[Hydrogen]

There were local televised bingo events hosted on tv back in the day. Which were fun. I suspect the organization of public events could be subject to fraud and abuse. Or perhaps no one finds bingo fun except for people like me. Either way, I'm surprised there hasn't been a greater resurgence of the phenomenon with the advent of the internet.

While old games like chess and poker have thrived and grown to enormous proportions on the internet. Bingo appears to be on a decline, unfortunately.

Not sure though if there is a casino that listed bingo in their platform.

But here in our country, bingo games is very popular as it is being played when there is like a an event with festivities (fiesta). Yes, another kind of games that is so fun and exciting specially during last games that we call "blackout" wherein you have to marked all the numbers in your cards.

I'm not a fan of this game though to be honest.  

We have an online "casino" in finland that has Bingo as one game. However we also have government monopoly on gambling and winning prizes are smaller as most of the profits from gambling in finland goes to charity. However i would play bingo in casino if there would be higher prizes.

I haven't really heard about any game like Bingo in my country before or maybe it is being called another name in my country which is different from bingo, I haven't came across anything like Bingo even on the internet before. I don't really play game but I think it will be a interesting game, maybe I will just read more about it and do more research about the game, I will like to ask some people I know they do frequently play game about it their is anywhere I can play the game in my country.

Isn't Bingo kind of a local type of activity? I've never seen one held on casinos but I've seen big events do it as a part of their, well, event and instead of money, it rewards winners with say merch, tickets, etc. You can also really play it without any rewards, mostly for fun but that basically needs a big user base that just wants to have fun really. There were also some cases in Twitter where bingos were held and users posted their hits on the hashtags included afaik (Never participated in it).

I also never really associated it with gambling when I first discovered it. I honestly thought it was just for fun lmao.

knowing that eBingo has been around for a while it surprises me that no crypto casinos(that I know of) are adding it to their casino.

Yes, it's good to see this game in crypto-casinos. Maybe because of a lack of popularity, there's no massive demand or request for this game.

Since BINGO is a live game, it will be under the "LIVE CASINO" features. And for live games, I believed the overall betting market on this game should achieve decent stats and there should be lots of users that will participate in the game. Not the case I see though if we talk about bingo.

Good thing that here in our country, playing bingo becomes easily accessible thru online gambling. Everything is automated from purchasing cards and no manual markings (local word: tantos) are needed to play the game.

I think you misunderstood what I am saying. I was not talking about Bingo but eBingo((check the link I shared in my previous post for more info about eBingo). eBingo is basically a digital version of bingo(of course with several differences) and if a gambling site wants to put them on their casino, they can probably easily do it.

I remember my parents taking me to the mall and leaving me in an arcade to play bingo for some time. They are very lucky when it comes to this game and even managed to win an amount equal to $4000 at one point in time. It is one of those gambling games that are too slow to pan out and bets are low. Sometimes the time you spent on playing one isn't even worth it, and definitely not exciting compared to other casino games that are very popular right now. Perhaps the main reason why a lot of elderly people are playing this is because of its slow-paced development that don't require them to be on high alert at all times.

This game is so easy to play and very popular in our country, for every carnival here in our country one of the main attractions for those who want to play game to make money is Bingo, you just buy a Bingo card you marked on the card the numbers that are in your card as announced by the announcer and when you hit a diagonal or horizontal you are the winner and win the pot for that particular round.

But the main attraction here is the blackout Bingo where you win the top prize in the main event when all the numbers on your card are marked I remember hitting the blackout many times

[nakamura12]

It is the world's know game that everyone can play and it's also easy to understand its rule that is why it is very known. By the way, what are you planning when you posted this topic?. Are you looking for a gambling site that have bingo game or are you planning to create a gambling site and have bingo game?. I don't think it is that useful to create such topic when many people already know what it is and sharing it is not a bad idea.

Americascardroom.eu used to have bingo as an option in their casino, but not anymore. They now only offer keno. Bingo to me is entertaining and fun, but most don't like it for whatever reason. I can sit there and play for hours long as there is money to be won.

The History of BINGO

Bingo is one of the most well-known forms of gambling that can be found all over the world. It is actually very popular among older people in my country and usually has a place of its own, but it can also be found in almost any casino.

This is a traditional game and one of the few that is still widely accepted by society even in countries where casinos are banned.
Bingo games are very similar to the lottery, as both use marking in the numerical system, but bingo is much more interesting and, at least in Brazil, it is widely used in many charity events.
It is a game that can be played by any type of person, from children to the elderly, as its rules are easy to understand.
Thank you for bringing us this story about the rise of Bingo.

Bingo is a memorable game for me because when I was young I always accompany my grandmother when she is playing with her friends. It does not cost much and it's fun especially if there are many players around, that means the jackpot is bigger.

Until now, this game is still popular in our country as one of the traditional game existing where you can play at malls, if there's fiesta and even when there's a wake. I have not tried yet to play this game online since it's not available in casinos where i'm often playing. I searched for local casinos offering Bingo but i'm not certain if these sites are trusted. Hence I will just wait for the recommendation of gamblers here who already played Bingo on the particular site.

  - Here in the country that I belong to, you can play bingo here no matter where you are physical. I remembered when I was in high school, a neighbor of ours would just put out bingo cards, you can join and win money too, of course, your card hits here.

And apart from that, I also see bingo in other malls here, even in the digital world, this bingo game can be found, although I have not tried it yet. But honestly, this game is also addictive.

[aioc]

I am hooked on this game whenever there is a carnival in our tow, its so easy to play and exciting too, the one who first got the diagonal horizontal or blackout or all numbers on the Bingo card filled wins the round, to have a good chance in winning I usually rent 5 cards, you have to have a very quick eyes to spot the numbers and of course, a good ear so you can clearly listen to the announcer of the game, it is more exciting to play it live than online, it's not really the prize but on how quick my senses to spot the number and hope those other players will not fill their card first.

It is said to have been brought up in Italy around 1530 as a form of Lottery and was called   “Il Gioco del Lotto d’Italia”. Furthermore, it was later exported to France, where it grew to become one of the most favourite games of the French aristocracy. 

It was much later named "Bingo" in the US, when it hit the spotlight over there. You can read more about Bingo here

I've heard of this but I'm not sure how to play the game, but there's no harm in reading the history to add to my knowledge more about other gambling that I don't know about, although I've never seen this on any casino site

I'd love it if the OP and others would share the history of each gambling game because maybe it's also necessary to know how the game was created

If they did it all in 1 thread, yes. If they do a history of blah blah in a separate thread for each game, it will lead to a load of spam like this thread is going to do. It's not easy to stay in conversations on most subjects as most questions or answers are usually found in the 1st page. After that, it's just endless repeat after repeat after repeat. Noone reads what has already been written.

yes you are right at least just making 1 thread with some history written down it will be better and neatly arranged so it doesn't create many threads, this might be a reference for the OP to create other threads in the future so as not to create many threads with game history titles gambling separately and putting them together would look better

I have never played Bingo in my life and I am not sure if I have ever seen it played anywhere to be honest. The casinos in my country don't really offer the game and when visiting other casino cities like Las Vegas I don't remember seeing tables with Bingo there. Maybe there were special areas for it and I haven't paid enough attention to it. Bingo seems like the standard game we see in the movies old people play in their retirement homes. Saul Goodman was organising Bingo games to get closer to the old people and represent them in their claims. I really wonder if all the retirement homes have Bingo games in the US. In my country we would probably not have older people play for money in the retirement homes. I know from my grand parents that they mostly play cards or other board games in their free time, but never for money. Bingo seems a bit like lottery, I am wondering if there is a good strategy to make money with the game. Or if the game is mostly to keep older people entertained and get by with the long hours during autumn and winter when nobody can go outside.

Even young people love this game because of its simplicity and fairness its hard to fix this game because you can see the barrel of numbers rolling and you can see the number being displayed, I love this game since I was young and still love it and youngster still loves it, they do not offer a big amount of money as a prize but the excitement of eagerness to complete all numbers are enough, once you play it, you will get hooked on it and you can grasp the mechanics of the game easily.

The History of BINGO

I never have Idea that Bingo comes from Europe , all i thought is that Asian who originate this game (as mostly Asian Country plays this even on streets)

thanks for this Info mate , this really lighten me up from this origin.

 I don't think it is that useful to create such topic when many people already know what it is and sharing it is not a bad idea.

nope , there are still many that has no Idea about the Bingo origin.

[nakamura12]

That's not my point mate. I never said about Bingo's origin at all. My point is that many people know about the Bingo game but as you have said that there are people didn't know about Bingo's origin. I also didn't even know that Bingo is not originated in Asia country as you may have thought about Bingo's origin or what country invented Bingo. As for knowing the Bingo game then I am sure that you would also say that there are lots of people know Bingo.
