Bingo started in Italy in the 16th century. It came to the UK in 1940s when soldiers were entertaining their families during WWII. In the 1960s, bingo halls became legal and soon the game became popular.

TV had begun to materialise and bingo halls were reassigned to the working class. The game's popularity declined in the 1990s. Bingo's reputation has also suffered. Large bingos put smaller binging halls out of business. The larger bingerys offered bigger jackpots. There were 2,000 bingers in UK at the height of their popularity.

Online bingo is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Online bingos offer a level of convenience that traditional binging halls cannot match. In the early noughties, entrepreneurs created online casinos to recreate the experience of playing in brick-and-mortar casinos. They wanted to emulate this success by bringing bINGO online.

Convenience is the main reason why online bingo is so popular. Mobile gaming and variety of bingos also help to make it more appealing. Online binging is relaxed, modern and friendly. The games are played in different patterns depending on the version.

Mobile gaming has helped online bingo operators target a younger audience. Traditional bingos are no longer popular with the younger crowd. Some venues have revamped the calls to sound more modern. The game that gained so much popularity appeared to be on its knees at one point, but the internet saved the day and earned it a whole new following.
