early days, game of online Bingo was all known as Le Lotto, soon
became popular at France. Version that France have adopted was a
little different than Italian game that was played at 1530, and
was in fact very similar to Bingo games, which we play now. Every
participating Le-Lotto player was given card with 3 lines going
over, as well as nine lines that are going up & down, and as
the numbers were called, the players have covered-up the cards.
Player who can fill row all way across was been declared a winner.

of game and teachers used their version in order to help kids living
in the Germany to learn multiplication. Here at this time, game
was known as lotto, went on being used in lots of teaching as well
as educational tools throughout years. After getting dubbed Lotto,
game was called Beano, prior to being dubbed Bingo lots of years
afterwards. Original game of Beano was played at the carnivals and
at the fairs, consisted of horseshoe table with the cards on top.
The players will claim numbered card, and game leader will call-out
numbers, as much they do in the Bingo now. As numbers on cards were
called, players will place bean on a top of corresponding number
on the cards.
