Few people know that bingo is one of the oldest gambling games on the face of the earth. Bingo originates from the ancient Italian lottery and evolved in France. Many early versions of bingo are quite similar to the bingo we know and love to day.

Bingo has spread to America from Germany where it was called Beano because beans were used to mark the crossed numbers. Fast enough bingo has become an extremely popular social game, played by aristocrats and in upper-class social parties. Bingo presented the charm of gambling and competition in a friendly environment and easy going atmosphere. From here the popularization of bingo was imminent.

Bingo takes its form from early lottery style games, the earliest being an Italian lottery almost 500 years ago. Since then the game has evolved, there was "Le Lotto" in France and "Beano" in America. It was when it hit America that it gradually turned into the bingo game that we know today.

Among other names bingo was the one that took off. In Australia it was known as "Housie". Whatever it is called in your language there are a few basic rules and variations of a bingo game.

The main varieties of bingo are 90 Ball and 75 Ball. In essence you have a bingo card with a set amount of random numbers (between 1 and 90, or 1 and 75). Next, numbered balls (between 1 and 90, or 1 and 75) are withdrawn randomly from a bingo "hopper". If the number on the bingo ball matches a number on your bingo card you mark it off. Once all numbers on your card are marked off you call "Bingo" or "House". The first to shout "Bingo" or "House" is the winner.
