The history of Bingo can be traced back to the early 1800s in England. At that time, pubs would hold bingo games to raise money for community events.
Eventually, the popularity of bingo spread to other countries, and it has become a worldwide pastime.
One of the earliest documented cases of bingo was in 1801, when a group of women in England played the game to raise money for a charity event. In 1825, James Fenton developed the modern Bingo card format, which is still used today.
In 1931, American Charles Doolittle patented the first electronic Bingo machine. The machine allowed players to win prizes by matching up symbols on the screen.
In 1975, John Sousa created the world’s first electronic Bingo game show.
In recent years, online Bingo has become increasingly popular. Players can play from their homes using computer software or mobile apps.
