The name “bingo” may have originated in England, where it was called “bingo drum.” The modern game of bingo was created in the early 1900s in England by Charles Darrow and James H. DAWSon. The game was popularized in the United States in the 1930s.
In 1943, Raymond Berry, an American serviceman in the British army, brought the game to the United States and renamed it “bingo.” The modern version of bingo is a lot different from the game that was played in England and America in the early 1900s.
