The Public Fascination With Bingo
Author: Jwaltz
The game of bingo traces its beginnings back to the Italian National Lottery in 1530. It was then called Lo Giuco de Lotto and it quickly spread across the Continent due to its popularity. In Europe the game evolved into one played on a rectangular grid with nine columns and three rows. The first vertical column had numbers 1-10; the second, 11-20; the third, 21-30; the fourth, 31-40; the fifth, 41-50; the sixth, 51-60; the seventh, 61-70; the eighth, 71-80 and the ninth, 81-90. This is the basis for the ninety number version game now played in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. The American version is played with seventy-five numbers and has the letters of the word Bingo over a five number by five number grid. The B has 1-15; I has 16-30; N has 31-45; G has 46-60 and O has 1 - 75. There is a Free Space in the middle of the N column. No matter what the version, the lottery style game has always been popular with the public. The bingo game is currently the most popular game on the internet, regardless of version. The game is easy to learn and play. There is no skill or strategy involved in the game so people don't have to devote a lot of time learning rules and strategy plays. The game is based on luck and chance and people always want to test out their luck which is one of the reasons for the public's fascination with the game.
