尽管宾果游戏在二十世纪早期已经出现，但是，直至1530年，宾果游戏才在美国的舒展根流行。那个时候，一家国营彩票公司在意大利开始运营“罗Gioco DEL乐透，意大利”游戏。（有趣的是，一直到今天，我们仍然可以在每个星期六玩乐透游戏）。18世纪末期，在法国也开始流行乐透游戏。这一个游戏版本使用的扑克牌是9列三行，每行有四个自由空间。

　　主叫方达成袋和挑出木片，标志着经过90个单元格（1到10的第一列，11至20为第二列，以此类推）。处于一整排的第一个玩家是赢家。这种抽奖式的宾果游戏很快在整个欧洲形成热潮。

　　我们在今天得以了解宾果游戏，这得益于Edwin S.罗威，他是一个来自于美国的推销员，将这种游戏的相关设备进行推广。罗威觉察到“Beano”会在佐治亚州亚特兰大市举行狂欢游戏。此次比赛被称为Beano，是因为玩家都使用干豆来记录他们卡上的数字。当玩家完成了数字线，他或她将停止游戏，并且喊道“Beano！”，这些赢得的玩家将会获得一些小奖品。

　　罗威看到玩家们为这些游戏着迷，而他自己却因这种游戏而败坏兴致，他把这种游戏带回家，并介绍给他的朋友。一位女士在一场比赛中赢得了比赛，她兴奋得脱口而出：“宾果！”

　　就这样，宾果诞生了。“Lowe宾果”获得全面成功。从20世纪30年代中期开始，因为教会和社交俱乐部能够迅速筹集游戏资金，宾果游戏在全国各地如同雨后春笋般冒出来。

　　今天，宾果已经在法国48个州形成了一定的规模。游戏场地比较小的，适合在教堂的地下室进行，大的场地则足以装一个1800个座位的大厅。在这篇文章中，我们将讨论宾果游戏的基本设备和在宾果游戏当中使用的规则，并提供如何提高战略的提示。如果您是正在寻找游戏网站的新玩家，我们会告诉你应该去哪里找。

　　宾果游戏玩家来自各行各业。一般没有定型的宾果机。宾果是应酬的人最喜欢去的地方。他们同时也可以享受其他竞争性的集体活动，如保龄球，可以依照自己的兴趣结识朋友，这就是为什么他们喜欢玩宾果的原因。调查显示，大多数玩家一般都在45岁以上，但宾果则成为了青少年一种新的社交方式。无论是自己或配偶或朋友，男女都喜欢玩这种游戏。宾果，能为每个人带来乐趣。

        The History of BingoWhile bingo became popular in the United States early in the twentieth century, the roots of the game stretch back to the year 1530. That's when a state-run lottery called "Lo Gioco del Lotto d'Italia" started in Italy. （Interestingly, even to this day you can still play that lotto every Saturday.） The French picked up lotto in the late 1700s. One version used a playing card with nine columns and three rows, with four free spaces per row.

　　The caller reached into a bag and picked out wooden chips marked 1 through 90 （1 to 10 for the first column, 11 to 20 for the second, and so forth）。 The first player to cover one whole row was the winner. These lottery-type bingo games soon became a craze throughout Europe.

　　Bingo as we know it today was popularized by Edwin S. Lowe, a struggling but enterprising toy salesman from New York. Lowe observed a game called "Beano" at a country carnival in Atlanta, Georgia. The game was called Beano because players used dried beans to mark their cards as the numbers came up. When a player completed a line of numbers, he or she would stop the game by yelling "Beano!," and that player would win a small prize.

　　Lowe saw that players were captivated by the game. Lowe himself was so spellbound by this new game that he brought it back home and introduced it to his friends. During one game, a lady got so excited by her win that she blurted out "Bingo!" instead of the accepted cry.

　　And just like that, bingo was born. "Lowe's Bingo" became a sweeping success, and by the mid-1930s, bingo games were popping up all over the country, in part because churches and social clubs quickly realized the fund-raising potential.

　　Today, 48 states （and more than 100 Native American reservations） offer legal bingo on some scale. Games range from small enough to fit in a church basement to big enough to pack a 1,800-seat hall. In this article, we'll discuss the basic equipment and rules used in bingo, and give you tips on how to improve your strategy. If you are looking for more places with new players, we'll show you where to look. If you aren't sure who your challengers will be or what kind of prizes can be at stake, check the overview below.

　　Bingo players come from all walks of life. There is no stereotypical bingo player. Most like to socialize, which is why they go to bingo, and they may also enjoy other competitive group activities, such as bowling, that combine fun and friends. Most regular players are over the age of 45, surveys show, but bingo is being discovered by young people every day as a new way to socialize. And both men and women enjoy playing the game, whether by themselves or with a spouse or friend. The bottom line? Bingo is fun for everyone.
