Who says states of America says business, and it was precisely in the gaming industry that he made his debut on the continent. A businessman Edwin Lowe who sooner or later expected to see his toy business collapse was fortunate enough to have the curiosity to understand where a flashing light was coming from on the horizon, during traffic jams in one night in December in 1929. He made the detour that marked the turning point of his life. The crowd of people lit by a strong spotlight turned out to be in fact a huge crowd of players around a U-shaped table covered with numbered boxes and dried beans. In the middle stood a man who was randomly drawing numbers from an old box of cigars. If one of the players had this number on their grid, a dry bean was placed on the numbered square. The first person to have a dry bean line, vertical, horizontal or diagonal, had to say ‘Beano’(Bean = bean) and won the prize which was a baby doll, therefore a children's toy. This immediately appealed to dear Lowe who had also noticed the thrills that the game caused in the players that night the. The businessman saw the potential of the game and felt that it was a winning move. He made his fortune by launching the game of Beano which was quickly replaced by Bingo (same concept but easier to pronounce)
Bingo is still so famous today. We are wrong to confuse bingo with Keno and to associate the game with entertainment for seniors (with the image in mind a group of old people, crowded like sardines around a village festival table), because no other game is able to seduce everyone ages. Also, 75% of bingo players belong to the 25-65 age group. Social networks, mostly frequented by young people, do not hesitate to offer games and apps bingo and mobile bingo is booming.
You can take a close look at all successful games in all their forms, variations and kinds: online bingo is, from afar, the most popular entertainment nowadays. It remains to be seen whether there are more real money bingo players or more free online bingo followers.
