Bingo – It’s birth and beginningWritten by Online Bingo
Continued from page 1
Back in New York, Lowe invited some friends to his apartment and introduced them to game. The tension seemed palpable. One time, a player became close to winning and was getting more and more excited. When her final number was called she jumped up in a fit of ecstasy and in all her excitement got herself tongue-tied. Instead of shouting Beano she spat out “Bingo!” Lowe would later describe “sense of elation” he experienced when he heard her cry. He knew from that moment he was going to introduce this game to public and name it “Bingo”. What a success it proved to be for Lowe and his company! As game came out of public domain it was hard for it to be trademarked. Entreponeurs emerged from all sides and began their own versions. Lowe graciously asked them to pay just one dollar a year and call their games “Bingo” as well. To avoid litigation, this seemed a small price to pay and hence massive spread and popular interest in bingo. Lowe became aware of fundraising possibilities of bingo after he was approached by a parishioner who wanted to use game to raise funds. However, there seemed to be a problem when he discovered that each game tended to produce at least a half a dozen winners. Lowe knew that in order for bingo to succeed and a larger scale he needed to develop a greater number of combinations for his cards. So he approached a mathematics professor at Columbia University by name of Carl Leffler. Lowe wanted 6,000 new cards with different combinations. The professor agreed. What he may not have conceptualised was how much harder each card became to develop than card before. The fee per card rose to $100 and task was finally completed, much to Lowe’s delight and at a cost to professor of his sanity! (Or so many people have speculated). After that, bingo really began to take off. People started to approach Lowe in droves, asking him to help them develop bingo games. Newsletters and even a book were published. The stakes and prizes got higher and pretty soon bingo took its place in popular American culture along with sports and other forms of gambling and general entertainment.
