Bingo: A Traditional Game of Chance



Bingo: A Traditional Game of ChanceBingo is a traditional game of chance that began way back in the 16th Century in Italy. From Italy the game was carried to France, travelled across Europe and eventually found its way to America during the 1920�s. Oddly enough, its original name was not �bingo� but �beano�, and the current name emerged upon a mispronunciation.

 For whatever reason, the game�s promoter thought it better, and from there on the name stuck. The game began as a funding device for churches and has evolved into many different forms. A local priest in Pennsylvania heard of the game and immediately thought of the fundraising opportunities.

 During the difficult times of the Great Depression in America, people flocked to play the game in church halls across the country. It is imagined that over 10,000 games were played weekly during that time. With such demand, the game of bingo entered into the consciousness of America and subsequently, the world. As the decades passed, bingo expanded into public halls and spaces as it grew in popularity, many bingo halls were built and developed. Toy-making interests also caught on, and the game also became associated with children�s games, as it still is today. The utter simplicity of bingo made it easy to substitute numbers with pictures or simple words, and the game was used as an educational device. In many ways, this represented a return to its roots, as along its route of transmission to American, bingo was used to teach maths, spelling, and history to German children in the 19th Century. Bingo�s recent development has seen its new emergence online in an exciting new variation of the game. It�s the same game but it provides easy access for those who want to play from the comfort of their own homes, it also allows bingo players to chat to their fellow players across the globe. From ancient roots to new technology, bingo has been a source of fun for many generations and will continue to be so for many years to come. http://www.12path.com/ISO/pm/
