Bingo, as we know it today, was not always a popular game. In fact, it was originally called ‘bingo drum’. The game was created in the 1800s in England by Joseph Alfred Pegram. The name ‘bingo’ came from the British dialect word ‘bingo’, meaning a group of things that are all the same.
Bingo was first played in taverns and pubs, and it quickly become popular among soldiers stationed abroad. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that bingo became popular in America. In 1911, Charles Darrow and Lillian Darrow set up America’s first bingo hall in Philadelphia. The game quickly spread to other parts of the country and soon became a popular pastime for Americans of all ages. .
In 1934, bingo became an official state game in Delaware. Today, bingo is played all over the world and is considered one of the most popular games ever created.
The popularity of bingo has led to many variations of the game being developed, including French bingo, German bingo, and Spanish bingo. Bingo is still a very popular game and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
