Where is Bingo Originated from?

Did you know that bingo is originated from Italy and is more than 500
years old? Bingo as a game originated somewhere around the year 1500,along with the unification of Italy. Italy is also called as the birth place of this game, where it evolved from the game of Lo Giuoco del Lotto Italia. However, bingo didn't come into its present form till 1778.

In the classic version of the game, the playing cards were divided into three horizontal and nine vertical rows. Each horizontal row had five numbered and four blank squares in a random arrangement. The vertical rows contained numbers from 1 to 10 in the first row, 11 to 20 in the second row, et cetera, up to 90. No two cards were alike. Chips numbered from 1 to 90 completed the playing equipment. Later
numbers were called out and the same, if on anyone's card was crossed.
The first one to cover a fixed set pattern (vertical, diagonal,
horizontal etc) was anointed the winner.

In the present version of the game, players buy cards with numbers on
them in a 5 X 5 grid. Numbers are then drawn at random out of a
possible 75, until finally one player completes a Bingo line with five
numbers in a vertical or horizontal row.

One of the biggest changes to take place in the bingo world was of
course the emergence of online bingo. 2003 saw the first UK online bingo sites and now more than 3 million people regularly play bingo online and offline. You can join in the fun with Partybingo as you
