History of Bingo

Bingo first appeared in the U.S. in the early 1800s and rapidly grew in popularity as time went by. It is a direct descendant of lottery-type games and its history can be traced back to 15th century Italy.

It was the British gaming act of 1960 that first authorised the opening of commercial bingo clubs across the United Kingdom, and though the illegal form of the game had flourished before that time, it was this act that marked bingos introduction in to mainstream culture.

Bingo is now played legally in America, Australia, New Zealand, The Isle of man, South Africa and Gibraltar amongst other places.
