Description

In the United States, bingo was originally referred to as “beano.” It was a game played in casinos where a dealer would pull numbered disks from a cigar box, while gamblers would mark their cards with beans. When they won, they would shout, “beano!”

This game was taken to a carnival near Atlanta, Georgia where someone accidentally shouted “bingo” instead of “beano.” A toy salesman overheard this, and decided to rename the game “bingo.”

Bingo Beano pays homage to the original gamblers game played all those years ago. Let’s celebrate where it came from and where it is now, one of the leading games played online.
