Bingo has a long history with some claiming the beginning as early as 1530 thru an italian game type called "Il Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia". Bingo has strong links to lottery with numbers being drawn and players having either chosen numbers or playing cards with numbers arranged in different ways.
There are many different types of Bingo but most people think of a playing cards with numbers arranged in columns and rows. In movie culture it is usually portrayed with a game host that calls out numbers and players that get a full row on their playing card calls out Bingo!
