Etymology of BINGO

The word "bingo" is derived from the Italian word "bancarotta", which means "bankrupt". In the 16th century, an Italian lottery game called "Il Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia" was popular, and if a player won the game with the exact combination of numbers, they would yell "bancarotta" to claim their prize. Over time, the game spread to other countries, including France and Germany. In Germany, the game was named "beano" as players would cover the numbers on their cards with beans.

The modern form of bingo as we know it today originated in the United States in the early 20th century. A toy salesman named Edwin S. Lowe observed a group of players at a carnival playing a game similar to beano, but one woman became so excited when she won that she accidentally shouted "bingo" instead.
