In this new version, the cards had three rows and nine columns. The game eventually made its way to France, and it was in France that a new version was created. The winning numbers were drawn out of a sack.
The players printed cards with numbers inside squares. The version that was played back then was very similar to what we are playing now.
We can trace its history to the mid-1500s, and it was called Lo Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia or the Italian Lottery.
The bingo game we play today originally started as “beano”.
