The social aspect of game is crucial as well. It is combination of interaction and communication so prevalent in bingo halls with mental agility and stimulation that many suggest can contribute to prevention of depression. Depression is something that becomes more and more of a concern as mind begins to deteriorate. People find they are unable to stimulate themselves as they used to do and hence become very frustrated and bored. Therefore, sustenance of mental stimulation and optimum functioning is so important to a balanced state of mind. A healthy mind may in many cases also signify a healthy body. If mind begins to deteriorate, many health practitioners believe it can influence degeneration of body immensely. So it is not just brain that bingo seems to be able to keep in prime condition. As lives become less and less active physically (often because of unavoidable circumstances), it becomes more and more important to place energy we used to put into our bodies, into our minds in order to help sustain both.

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.
