The history of Bingo traces its origins back to 16th century Italy, where a game called "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia" was widely popular. This game, essentially a form of lottery, laid the groundwork for what would evolve into modern Bingo. The concept of the game then spread across Europe, with France developing its version called "Le Lotto" in the 1770s, featuring cards with three rows and nine columns filled with random numbers from 1 to 90. Players would mark their cards as numbers were drawn, aiming to complete a horizontal row to win. By the early 20th century, a variant of the game reached North America, where it was known as "Beano". This version was particularly popular at carnivals, with players using beans to mark their cards and shouting "Beano!" when they won. The transition from Beano to Bingo occurred in 1929, when toy salesman Edwin S. Lowe observed the game at a carnival in Georgia. An excited player accidentally yelled "Bingo!" instead of "Beano", inspiring Lowe to rename the game. Lowe's version featured a 5x5 grid of numbers and, to address the issue of too many winners, he collaborated with a mathematician to create over 6,000 unique Bingo cards​. Bingo's popularity soared in the mid-20th century, especially in the United States, where it became a staple at churches and community gatherings as a means of fundraising. By 1934, an estimated 10,000 weekly Bingo games were being held across the country. The game's association with charitable efforts contributed significantly to its widespread acceptance and growth. Despite facing legal challenges in some states due to gambling concerns, Bingo thrived, particularly after World War II, as veterans' organizations and others lobbied for pro-Bingo legislation. This period marked the "Golden Age of Bingo" in the 1960s through the 1980s, with thousands of Bingo halls opening to accommodate the dema. 
In the UK, Bingo also gained immense popularity, with its own unique culture and terminology, known as "Bingo Lingo", emerging. This vernacular, rooted in cockney rhyme and slang, added a distinct British flavor to the game. Electronic Bingo has become increasingly popular in the UK, with electronic terminals allowing players to handle more cards than traditional paper-based play. This modernization of Bingo has helped sustain its popularity in the face of changing demographics and entertainment preferences​.
