Topic: The History of Bingo - page 4. (Read 673 times)
I haven't really heard about any game like Bingo in my country before or maybe it is being called another name in my country which is different from bingo, I haven't came across anything like Bingo even on the internet before. I don't really play game but I think it will be a interesting game, maybe I will just read more about it and do more research about the game, I will like to ask some people I know they do frequently play game about it their is anywhere I can play the game in my country.
Not sure though if there is a casino that listed bingo in their platform.
But here in our country, bingo games is very popular as it is being played when there is like a an event with festivities (fiesta). Yes, another kind of games that is so fun and exciting specially during last games that we call "blackout" wherein you have to marked all the numbers in your cards.
I'm not a fan of this game though to be honest.

We have an online "casino" in finland that has Bingo as one game. However we also have government monopoly on gambling and winning prizes are smaller as most of the profits from gambling in finland goes to charity. However i would play bingo in casino if there would be higher prizes.
There were local televised bingo events hosted on tv back in the day. Which were fun. I suspect the organization of public events could be subject to fraud and abuse. Or perhaps no one finds bingo fun except for people like me. Either way, I'm surprised there hasn't been a greater resurgence of the phenomenon with the advent of the internet.
While old games like chess and poker have thrived and grown to enormous proportions on the internet. Bingo appears to be on a decline, unfortunately.

since Bingo is the topic, I think should also mention the digital version of it, has anyone ever played or heard of eBingo(electronic bingo)? it was quite popular in the area I used to live in where you can find eBingo shops very easily. I used to be a regular at one of the shops up until I moved out. knowing that eBingo has been around for a while it surprises me that no crypto casinos(that I know of) are adding it to their casino.
The demand for this increased since the pandemic, I remember playing this using fiat currency probably no crypto yet for the eBingo. Anyway, Bingo is also popular in my place, you can see this on every street and its not illegal since mostly old people are the one who are playing Bingo. This is entertaining as well and your winnings will depend on how lucky your card is. Hoping to see a crypto site that will introduce this game on their platform, good to know as well its history. 
Bingo used to be offered without a permit, then you had it locally in a community center. I also remember stories that people came to the door to ask if you wanted to participate in a bingo. But then there was no internet in the mid-90s. Now you also need a permit to organize a bingo. I think an online bingo site cannot be successful, there are much more exciting things to gamble than a bingo. A bingo game is also more for relaxation and fun, you can't normally get rich with it. Then you better participate in the lottery.

@Blawpaw , Its great learning about the history of this game, though I must admit that I've never played it and neither do know how the game works mechanically, i will probably search this up on YouTube, probably i will find the game's mechanics there and learn how to play it..
However, I've noticed you've been posting series of histories to different games on the forum lately, and I've been following them too, I will suggest to you , maybe you find a way of bringing all this histories under one thread/post, this will not only be helpful to us(the current users of this forum) but also the users coming in the future, because if you ask me, I would that it makes no sense having important information like this scattered, whereas some of the pieces might become buried so deep that future users wont be able to locate it except they use the exact keywords of topic in their search.
This is just my thought.

It was much later named "Bingo" in the US, when it hit the spotlight over there. You can read more about Bingo here
Bingo has always been very popular in the US. Even before you started seeing different types of gambling houses start showing up in areas that had previously banned gambling, there was Bingo. It's thought to be a pastime for old folks and is extremely popular amongst the older crowd. Wherever there's Bingo, you can expect a packed house. These folks come to play too. They buy multiple cards to play at the same time and have all sorts of stuff with them. I'm not sure why Bingo has always been an accepted form of gambling everywhere, but it has. Great to learn more about it's history.
knowing that eBingo has been around for a while it surprises me that no crypto casinos(that I know of) are adding it to their casino.
Yes, it's good to see this game in crypto-casinos. Maybe because of a lack of popularity, there's no massive demand or request for this game.
Since BINGO is a live game, it will be under the "LIVE CASINO" features. And for live games, I believed the overall betting market on this game should achieve decent stats and there should be lots of users that will participate in the game. Not the case I see though if we talk about bingo.
Good thing that here in our country, playing bingo becomes easily accessible thru online gambling. Everything is automated from purchasing cards and no manual markings (local word: tantos) are needed to play the game.

In Spain it was quite a popular game, but I would say that nowadays it is played less and less, and the last blow was the pandemic. According to what I heard, the first decline was when smoking was banned in bingos. In the old days, the smoker who was addicted to bingo would spend the whole night playing, chaining one cigarette after another and combining it with alcohol.
Now with online gambling, it's a game that young people don't play, and in any case, if they ever do, it will be online, but very rarely.

Same in Portugal. It was losing its ground before the pandemic as it was only popular among older folks. Besides, a lot of Casinos opened in the country and this also hugely affected bingo houses. The regulation for tobacco was also pretty destructive to Bingo houses but they were still able to survive after that. Once the heavy regulations that was put in place due to the pandemic was lifted Bingos got a lot of affluence once again, but as said they were not able to captivate the interest of yonger people. Young people lost their interest in Bingo as soon as online gambling was made possible.

I assume you are from Philippines, in Philippines bingo is part of the culuture, almost everyone knows how to play it even the young ones. It's like a casual casino games you'll see in fiestas and carnivals and even in normal households. I'm not a big fan of it, but I would say it is fun to play. The mechanics is really easy to understand and I think there's another form of this game called black-out where you need to fill all the numbers to win instead of just marking the winning patterns.
Wow friend, great stories that you publish, thank you very much for taking us back to the beginning of the most basic games and that in every casino there is, in fact, the first casino I met in my life did not say casino, it was a Bingo and for the nights they used to do those Bingo draws, very exciting, it should be noted that the bingo game at that time I never won anything, other people were quite lucky, we should also point out that if it comes from Italy and for that year, it is because From Europe they have always liked good things, good fun and that based on fun a lot of money is generated.
I have not played this on any casino before, but I think it is going to be very interesting and very easy like having fun if played among friends or family. What I found out about it is that on a paper, or on phone or computer, it consist of 15 numbers each which can range between 1 to 99. One number will be marked which people that are playing it do not know, the 15 numbers will be called out for everyone to hear, anyone that get the number will be the winner. Is that correct?
I do not know how gambling site will handle this, but I may check it out to see how it works.
This game is fun either solo or with friends and family. It's not too late to try it out. It seems hard at first but if you play it in a casino, there must be a pattern that is shown so you won't ever get lost but if it's only played locally then you will be needing to memorize the patterns. Each bingo card is composed of 25 numbers, not 15 and that numbers are random.I do not know how gambling site will handle this, but I may check it out to see how it works.
The overall numbers for bingo is 1 up to 75 only, not 99. Short mechanics about the game is that the 75 numbers are being drawn one by one. If who filled the given pattern first are going to win. It's pretty easy and possible for an online gambling site to adopt this game but they are not popular than the other casino games.
Yeah, if gambling sites can adapt it, then good. But it's not like it's as attractive as slot or roulette that maybe only few of the gambling platforms wanted to list it. And it's really fun either playing alone, but it is more entertaining if you have your family playing with you.
And it's only very competitive game to say the least because you are playing against so many players including your family members. And you really need to focus specially if you have many cards to play with. But at the end of it, just another game that is base on luck.

So what's the catch here of creating this topic? What are the concerns? What is about to discuss?
Just want to share our thoughts on Bingo? Well, to begin with, I'm really an enthusiast of playing bingo for a long. In fact, I'm just nearby in a mall where there is a bingo hall. I even lured some of my friends that are not into gambling to play bingo online. The reason is, it's just cheap, to begin with.
Since everything is now digital, the traditional bingo that used to be a pastime before is not present anymore.
However, I just tend to watch my friends while they are playing this game because I'm just not into it; still boring on my end. It's just entertaining everytime the announcer is connecting different things just to announce a number. If you're curious, here's a link you may consider reading :https://nichegamer.com/why-there-are-so-many-fans-of-online-bingo-in-the-philippines/
It's a fun game tho' according to the majority.

Any online casinos you guys play at have Bingo?
Here in our country, there is. BINGO PLUS but it's a local fiat gambling and I'm not sure if it can be accessed outside the country as we use our own currency to play here. Everything is automated that's why lots of people here got addicted to that gambling. It's a good time killing for those who don't know how to spend their time and past time for housewives.
I don't know if there's a casino yet that has a bingo platform listed as one of their games.
One of my favorite games when I was young.
Before, there will be mothers playing in the streets here in the Philippines to pass time after doing all the chores at home. More like their resting (gossip) place while they are waiting for dinner time so they could go home and prepare food for their family.
But now, I rarely see it.
Internet, computer, smartphones, all of those changed everything.
Online? I haven't seen one but if there is, I doubt it will be as fun as shaking the bottle, getting one, and shouting out the letter and number.

Bingo is a pretty fun game (despite the fact that it takes zero skills to play, although I suppose there are quite a few gambling games where this is the case). I used to play this when I was younger, but haven't played it in quite some time.
Anyone else think of the show Breaking Bad when you think of Bingo? This is something the main character would play with the old folks home, always with a certain angle to doing something to get something to go his way.
