B-I-N-G-O!

Introduction


     Have you ever played the game Bingo? Bingo is a fascinating game that is originated from a lottery game called “Lo Gioco del Lotto d’Italia” which was played in the 1500's in Italy, that is similar to Bingo. This lottery game spread all over Europe, and soon enough, many countries started games of their own that was just like  “Lo Gioco del Lotto d’Italia”. Many of the lottery games that started after Italy's lottery game included items such as playing cards. In the late 1920's, a famous New York toy salesman named Edwin S. Lowe saw a game at a carnival called "beano". He brought the game to his friends, and one of his friends accidentally yelled bingo, instead of beano. And from that time on, the game was known as Lowe's Bingo. Today, millions of people play Bingo in basements to large hall which seat thousands. Some people play for fun, while others play for money. Bingo is still the same, fascinating, exciting, sensational game as it was when it was first invented. 


My Opinion 


      In my opinion, the game of Bingo is a fascinating game for all ages. I think this because because it is such an interesting game, and millions of people play it everyday. It is played in many places like in school for educational purposes. In fact, I played it a couple of times in my school. This proves that Bingo has spread all over the country. And I like all the excitement in Bingo when you're like "Oooh, so close". But I just like playing the game for fun. This is why I like playing Bingo.
