party bingo
brought to America. There used to play the game at fairs and festivals, and was known as Beano. The numbers are removed from a box of snuff, and the players were putting beans in their cartons numbers until someone covered all the numbers in its carton and screamed out loud! Beano!. It is believed that the name comes from the use of Beano Beans (beans in English) to cover the numbers that had already left.
It was in 1929 when a toy manufacturer in New York, Edwin S. Lowe, at a trade show in Atlanta, first saw people playing Beano. Quite liked the game and started playing with friends in New York upon his return. There, one of them, the nerves have got to mark all of your ticket numbers shout
