The roots of Bingo can be traced way back to the year 1530, when an Italian, state run lottery called “Lo Gioco del Lotto d’Italia” first began. Over a century later, the French adopted a similar game, one version of which used a playing-card grid of numbers. A caller would reach into a bag and draw out wooden tokens which were marked 1 - 90, and the first player to cover over all the numbers on their card would be marked the winner. This was the first lottery-style bingo game to be seen, the craze spread and soon was very popular all over Europe.
