bingo

The game of bingo has its roots further back in history than you might think, though its form has changed over the years. First recordings of the game date back to 1530′s Italy where it was played as “Lo Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia”. Amazingly this game is still played every Saturday. The game then swept across Europe in different guises; it arrived in France around the late 1770s, as a game played by the aristocracy, and in the 1880s the Germans played a version of this as a way to help children learn maths, spelling and history.
