Bingo since history

The game can be traced back to 1530, when the game was begun to be played in Italy, and was an instant hit. In time the game moved on to France, where it was met with great public interest. It was played mostly be the elite, until the French Revolution, when it began to be played by people of all walks of life.

Bingo is an entirely different game to typical casino games and you can see that by going back and taking a look when the game arrived in the United states it was called Beano, and thus it stayed until a toy manufacturer renamed it bingo when he overheard some one at a carnival call it out loud instead of beano. The toy manufacturer saw the potential that was in the game, and hired a math professor to make cards for him. His name was Carl Leffler. Within a few short years Leffler created more than six thousand bingo cards. Rumor has it that he went insane and spent the rest of his life a mental hospital.
