Bingo - a very brief history
Bingo can be traced back to 1530, to an Italian lottery called "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia. From Italy the game was introduced to France in the late 1770s, ( "Le Lotto"), a game played among wealthy Frenchmen. The Germans also played a version of the game in the 1800s, using it as a child's game to help students learn math, spelling and history.
