Bingo is a popular game that people can play in many different ways. The game has many different variations, but the basic premise of the game is to draw a card and fill in one of the squares on a board with that card.
If the number on the card matches the number on one of the squares, then the player gets to add that number to their current total. The player can continue playing until they either run out of cards or they get a “bingo”, which is when all of their cards match a specific number on the board.
The name “bingo” comes from the British term for this type of game, which is called “penny bingo”. In Australia, where this game originated, it was called “tote bingo”.
The name “bingo” was eventually adopted by other countries and became popular worldwide.
