Let's go bingo online!

Honestly, I have never played bingo before. That little gap in my liberal college education was self-induced because, for some quirk of Nature, I always thought of it as a game for women - no offense meant to anyone.

Now I know better, having come across an opportunity to write about online bingo games from these Online Bingo Sites.

With game bonus payouts of up to two hundred and fifty per cent, what better way can you have of augmenting your housekeeping money by playing bingo from home anywhere you are in the world?

If you have no idea of how to play bingo, let me give you a little outline history of the game of bingo in such a way that even old hands at the game would not feel bored reading any further than this paragraph.

In spite of opposition from the Catholic Church in Italy in 1530, the game of bingo flourished as a state lottery before spreading in popularity to France as a lotto game in the 1770 and onward to the rest of Europe and further on to be discovered in America in 1920 by the New York toy salesman Edwin S. Lowe at a country fair in Atlanta, Georgia or Florida - the history is not very clear on this fact about the location.

Initially called 'Beano,' when pinto or lima beans were used to play it, the game grew in America to become 'Bingo', especially when that became the excited cry of female winners in the game.

There were originally just twelve or twenty-four cards versions of the game but in 1930, with help from Columbia College's Mathematics Professor Carl Leffler, Edwin S. Lowe was able to expand it to six thousand cards with non-repeating number groups in order to decrease the number of winners in the game and ultimately help to increase the cash flow into the organizer's profitable accounts - especially the Churches in America, ironically.

In 1850, the Germans used a learner's version of Bingo to teach children multiplication, history, spelling, and even history or some other new educational concepts.

The rules of the game are not hard to find and, so, I will leave you to learn the rules online at these Online Bingo Sites, especially since they will ensure that your winnings will be paid each time you win.
