Bingo is one of the oldest games out there, with the first games dating back to the 1500’s in Italy where it was called “Il Giuoco del Lotto d’Italia at the time. Today, bingo is just as popular as it was back then and has an even bigger audience than ever. So, with the game being so old, how exactly has it managed to remain current and popular in the 21st century?

Bingo has been incredibly popular in Nigeria for years, with heavy influences from the UK where public bingo halls were legally established in the 60’s. From then, the game has transitioned with the pace of technology, in which today people can play online bingo from anywhere and at any time.

Below, we’ll take a look at how exactly does bingo work? Alongside the game’s transition into the online space.

The popularity of bingo globally
From bingo’s origins in Italy in the 1500’s, the game spread across Germany and France a couple of decades later. In France, the game was played by only wealthy men while in Germany, the game was used to help children learn to count.

Bingo was played a little differently in the US, in which it was a country fair game called ‘Beano’. The dealer would take numbered disks from an old cigar box and players would mark matching numbers on their cards with a bean. If you won, you would call out Beano!

Today, the modern game of bingo is played with 90 balls in a traditional British game. The numbers are arranged in columns, 1 to 9, 10 to 19, then all the way to 99. The UK ticket has 15 numbers and three rows. Players have to mark all the numbers on a line to be able to win. When a player marks a line of five numbers completely, they shout Bingo! and their claim is checked.

What does a game of bingo look like today?
While bingo is still commonly played in a bingo hall today, these bingo halls have changed drastically since the first ones in the 60’s. Today’s bingo venues offer a whole new experience which is almost like a night out at a club. These venues not only offer games of bingo but also live music and food and drinks too, often with elaborate cocktails on offer.

In addition to this, there’s now also the option of playing bingo online. Online bingo enables a wider variety of people to access the game as there is no judgement or barriers to playing when people have the privacy of their own devices. Some people prefer to play bingo games on a mobile device, whereas others prefer to play games on a desktop so they could enjoy the game on a big, wide, high-end, new and advanced monitor and experience the game to its fullest. While traditionally bingo was aimed at an older female audience, today, there are many males and younger females enjoying online bingo too.

What gaming sites are there? A variety of factors that should influence your decision when choosing an online bingo provider. While safety is a top priority, you also need to consider things like what the payouts are like, the bonuses and promotions available, any offers for new players, and the variety of games available.

Site safety

As there are so many providers out there, it’s important to choose a website that is safe. There are a few ways to do this, including looking for the padlock symbol in the web address bar – this tells you whether the website is encrypted or not.

You can also look for the websites licensing body to ensure they are correctly licensed. Most sites will list the licensing authority either in the About Us section of the site or in the footer. Some of the most popular places for licences to be authorised are the UK and Gibraltar.

Bonuses and Promotions

Why are promotions so important nowadays? Bonuses and promotions are of course an important part of any bingo game. New players are at a particular advantage here as many online bingo sites offer an enticing array of bonuses and promotions for new players, in order to encourage them to join.

One of the best promotions to look out for when choosing an online bingo site is if there’s no deposit bingo available. No deposit bingo enables new players to try out a couple of games and get a feel for the site, without having to set up an account with payment details and transfer money into that account to play. This means that if you don’t like the site, you can simply close your account and move on to a new site, without having to wait for your funds to withdraw back into your account again first.

Overall, while bingo may have changed a lot since the days of sitting in a bingo hall in the 1960’s, the game is still loved and enjoyed across the world today, in which it is showing no signs of slowing down in popularity.
