In the late 1770’s the game was first introduced in France where it was known as ‘Le Lotto’, which was mostly played by the rich Frenchmen at that time.

In the United States, the game bingo was first introduced with the name ‘beano’ where a dealer used to select numerous discs from a case of cigar and players used to mark on their cards with beans. It reached America in the year 1929 and the players used to call ‘beano’ when they used to win.
