Question

What year did BINGO start?

Answer 1

Hi, as a boy, I remember people playing bingo 70 years ago, so the game is much older than that. I'm sorry tho, I have no other info for you other than that. Good luck. On bingo that is, ha!

Answer 2

The game's history can be traced back to 1530, to an Italian lottery called "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia," which is still played every Saturday in Italy. From Italy the game was introduced to France in the late 1770s, where it was called "Le Lotto", a game played among wealthy Frenchmen. The Germans also played a version of the game in the 1800s, but they used it as a child's game to help students learn math, spelling and history.

Answer 3

around the 1950's ill say.
