The History of Bingo

[roslinpl]

After a couple of years, I had a chance to hear the name of Bingo. Because most of the old gambling game was in end phase because of online betting. I had not to suppose to oppose the online betting here. I had my love and support to the old gambling games. This make me to remember some sweet memories from my past. I had a friend as a partner to play this bingo in the past. He create his own strategy all the time to make some big win. But I had an habit of playing play for the fun and use my luck to win the game. Honestly the luck based gambling will make you win win the percentage of 40. But strategy game helps you to win 60 percentage.

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

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.

I'm not aware of its origin but this is very popular here in our country it's a traditional game that can be played by young and
old, because it's easy to understand it will only take a minute to understand the game, and it's hard to cheat on this game as everything is done by rolling a barrel or bottle where all the numbers are housed, I'm not very lucky on this game, but I always almost win the game, everything is on who gets to complete the number, maybe if we don't have the internet kids and old, are going to play and enjoy this game.

It might be surprising but I never knew Bingo was the name of a game. Bingo is a popular dog name in my country and I have never cared to know about the origin of this name. Reading the history of this game is very interesting but I was quit attracted to this game being used in churches and nursing homes. Even when gambling was illegal, churches as non-governmental organizations were given the opportunity to raise money using Bingo games, this was very thoughtful of the government. Most of these religious institutions really needed this funds to carryout their humanitarian activities because they have few means of making money. Thank you OP for sharing this information because I have really learnt a new thing today.

Before this thread I wouldn't have thought of Bingo as gambling, but of course it is a form
although I would say that most elderly people treat it as a social gathering and an activity.

It actually makes sense that when it was first invested it was a form of "Lottery", the players
are picking numbers which are randomly drawn.

I'm actually surprised as to how many people know the game bingo as I thought that it is only locally available in our countries since I have never heard of or encountered any betting platform that involves Bingo as a game. Bingo is quite common in our country, and I think it is somehow part of our culture when it comes to gambling as you can see it almost everywhere whether on online gambling or offline casinos. There are even designated bingo games in some malls in my country and most players are elderly.

Many gambling sites are coming now with accepting various coin as the crypto currency. Some gambling websites are accepting their own crypto currency. I had come to know Bingo was old gambling after this thread. You made a good work by this action, many of the people including myself had learn about the Bingo. Lottery also came based on this gambling concept, it had huge response all over the world. Bingo was old the game of old gamblers, it was named as Bingo in United States. It was spread all over the world by the different name. Now online casino was making huge money apart from the offline gambling. Only few are trusted, we should find the good casino before using it.

Accepting crypto on their platform is increasing and they are also coming here to introduce their site.
Now, if they will accept other games like Bingo, it could be a good adoption since Bingo is also a popular game. In my country, you can see a traditional casino specifically made for Bingo and you will see a lot of players for this game. I’m also playing this, its entertaining and Bingo is one of the easiest card game to play with.

That's a short and precise history of bingo. I remember this game when I was still living in my old neighborhood when I was still a young guy. It's like every day, those people have nothing to do and they're always meeting each other in the same spot.
It is a bingo neighborhood and everyone likes it whoever wins some good amount at the end of their bingo session, that person is buying us some snacks as kids.

Traditional or physical bingo houses are still existing today as far as I know.
But not many online casinos are hosting this kind of game. It can be even categorized under casino classics.
The OP can also add info on the list of casinos here that are offering some type of bingo-type game.
Because from what I know, they are usually hosted inside the mall, as what I've known here in my area.

Bingo was the first gambling I heard about while I was still kid. For a while it was legalized in our country, but later on every casinos were forbidden and only few lotteries remained, including the federal one.

In order to bypass the prohibition, people created a variation of bingo game. Instead of using numbers, they use words (substantives). Cards have 5 columns, each column displays 5 words starting with letters from A to E.

If you finish a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line you win the round. Sometimes a round can also consist in matching all the words of the card (usually for better prizes).

ohh, yeah I get it , i thought it was about the origin in which I have not totally know till i see this thread.

but yes , there are almost every people in the world even not bingo player does have idea what is this game and how to play(as it is very simple)

and as a Bingo player ,  I must admit that this is a time consuming game and mostly use for killing time.

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.  

As a child, I loved to play bingo.  We played in a wooden gazebo on a large wooden table, using multi-colored paper cards.  I won very often and my ringing cry "Bingo!!!"  sounded at my grandmother's dacha, where I played this game with other children in a wooden arbor. 

These are very vivid memories of my childhood.  But we played this game not for money, but for paper tokens.  As I grew up, I still enjoyed playing this game (online). 

It's certainly not that fun.  how to play offline, but still I really love this game!

I think I have yet to see a gambling website that offers a bingo game in their platform. Maybe because of its nature being relatively long and tedious, people would get easily bored by it. I think that is also the reason on why majority of the players are old people, as they have the patience to sit and match the numbers on the screen to their paper.

I guess that also explains the history of Bingo. As exciting as it sounds (sarcasm), I do hope that some would revolutionize its way and introduce some improvements to make it enjoyable to all ages.

I would agree it as a tool or just being used by the early to socialize, but still though for some countries in Asia they can play "Bingo" with some money involved. It's like putting all the money in the pot, and then winner takes it all.

So yeah, another history lesson for us, and it seems that some of us played this game when they were young. And so just imagine if crypto platform will sort of developed this kind of games. Not sure how feasible or difficult it will be, but certainly doable.

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.

Well, the truth is, I've never won at Bingo, I think that what the ballots say they say very quickly and in the casino where the echo was there it didn't let me hear well, usually the older adults won, I don't know how they did to hear well , but it was something that I couldn't, the day I went I left my friends there and went to play roulette because I really felt that the cards I bought to play bingo had no luck or I simply couldn't play well, so with roulette it was another story, I played better and did things with a better sense, roulette sincerely relaxed me. That is why in a casino one should find a way to relax and not feel pressure or stress.

Im kinda surprised I'm not the only person who thinks old people (like granpas and grandmas) who is most likely to win Bingo games. I've played Bingo in different places before, even in an office event for Thanksgiving, but I too have never won, not even once out of the hundreds or maybe thousand tries.
It's even funny that I've played it at some point where there were only like not more than 10 participants and still I did mot manage to win, nor choose a lucky set of card.
Weird. Lol

I remember when I was young , as I visited my Aunt house , there are many people that enjoys playing this and now as I grow Old , there are designated houses where i can enjoy betting and playing Bingo with really good return.

well a simple search in Google will bring this answer directly , and I have also read this article way back but thanks for OP as he reminds me of what said on that said article.

That's a short and precise history of bingo. I remember this game when I was still living in my old neighborhood when I was still a young guy. It's like every day, those people have nothing to do and they're always meeting each other in the same spot.

actually this is a game of luck because Bingo is almost similar in betting in Lottery that the chance of winning is so much small than losing.

[Slow death]

I tried playing bingo, but I confess that these games based on luck never do well when I play them, and bingo was no different, I lost a lot and I'm glad it wasn't about money but for fun, but I didn't like that game, I prefer plinko. in any case as I don't like games based on luck to win so I'll just stick to sports betting, at least I can get some profit. bingo is more ideal for elderly people to play in their free time to relax, I don't see bingo as a game for young people to play and bet money, this is my opinion

[Peanutswar]

I've been playing bingo for a year and my country having fun with this for their leisure time most of the time adults playing this kind of game during after lunch and break time and of course missing this thing is memorable, I've been visiting a lot of gambling casino and never seen they are supporting this kind of game most of the time in a tabletop games only if you know something good to recommend to so other people who never played yet.

Bingo was being forbidden ? isn't this is just a family game? and not as big as how lottery means right?

wondering which country was that?

In order to bypass the prohibition, people created a variation of bingo game. Instead of using numbers, they use words (substantives). Cards have 5 columns, each column displays 5 words starting with letters from A to E.

really? can you share hat kind of game was that mate? looking forward to what is this kind of gaming we have here.

If you finish a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line you win the round. Sometimes a round can also consist in matching all the words of the card (usually for better prizes).

I am interested to what is this game similar to bingo is mate.
