Bingo is a popular game often played by retirees or people who are just looking for a relaxing game that can win one some money. Bingo has been in existence since the 16^th century when Italians played a similar game called “Lo Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia”, which they held every Saturday.

Surprisingly, Italians still play to this day their ancient version of bingo every Saturday. The game Italians invented was brought to France sometime in the late 18^th century where it was called “Le Lotto” but it would take longer for America to discover this game.

It was only in 1929 when America discovered bingo and at that time it was still called “Beano”. The change in the name happened when a toy salesman, named Edwin S. Lowe heard someone say “Bingo” by mistake. He realized that Bingo sounded better so he decided to call the game as such and everyone else started referring to it as such ever since.

It’s quite easy for anyone to know how to play bingo. It’s not as complex as playing poker or blackjack but it can be just as exciting. For those who want some free play bingo here are a few instructions on how to play the game:

Get a bingo card from the caller or host and find a place to sit.

1. Fill up the space at the centre of your card (the “Free” space) with your marker.
2. Listen to the caller or host as he calls out a letter and number like “B-7”.
3. Look for column B in your card.
4. Check if you have a “7” in the B column
5. If you have the 7 in the B column mark it with your marker.
6. Listen to the caller give out more letters and numbers and see if they’re in your card as well.
7. As soon as you form a line (horizontal, diagonal, or vertical) yell out “Bingo” as quickly as you can. You have to be quick in yelling bingo because if the host calls out the next number you can’t confirm a win anymore.
