From The First Lotto To Online Bingo

The history of bingo games goes back to the 16th century in Italy

, where a kind of lottery known as "Lo Giucco del lotto d'Italia" was successfully introduced and started to be played. Two centuries later, a variant of this type of game will also become popular in France, where it was known as "Le Lotto" and from there it arrived to Germany.

However, it was not after 1920, with the development of a game named Beano, that the origins of Bingo as we know it today were founded. During one of those games, an excited participant shouted Bingo instead of Beano, given origin to the name of the famous game. Since that time, many variations and formats of bingo appeared and the next big revolution for the game will not be until the late 90 with the development of online bingo.

In this modality of bingo, as in the land-based bingo there are two main types of game: The first one, 90 balls, uses a 5 per 5 card, and is more popular in North America. On the other hand, 75 balls bingo uses a 9 per 3 card and is more popular in the majority of South America, Europe and Australia. The last is also the more common played in the UK.

Both modalities of online bingo became very popular due to the fact that it allowed participants to play from any place where there was internet access, so it was no longer required to go to the land-based bingos when you could comfortably play from your home. Moreover, its popularity was also increased by the effort of many online bingo sites to increase the sense of communities among its members by creating chats and other interaction facilities.

One of the greatest consequences of the consolidation of online bingo was that one of the myths that more damaged the survival of the game was demystified and bingo stopped being associated exclusively with old people, as an increasing number of younger players start to joining the fun game and registering in the online sites. Bingo is no longer seen as a grandmother game and the probe is the fact that 90% of the online players are under 50.

Maybe the next challenge for online bingo will be to expand its presence among the masculine sector, as the women are still being the biggest group of players, even in the online version.
