BINGO in Hamden
By
The name “Bingo” as we know it today is a form of lottery and a direct descendant of the National Lottery started in Italy in 1530. It is reported that in 1778 the French captured the lottery fantasy adding chips to the game as part of the playing equipment.
In the 1800’s, educational lotto games became popular including a German lotto game designed to teach children multiplication tables, spelling and history. Even today lotto still holds its own in the toy and game market. The game gives kids in the 3 to 6 year old range a bit of fun while teaching them to recognize numbers and count.
Bingo is a fun and entertaining, and it’s a game that children and adults alike can enjoy in a group setting. If you are a Bingo enthusiast, you can use the internet to look for community centers, churches or senior facilities in your area that offer games and tournaments.
If you live in the Branford or Hamden rental apartments at Montoya or Seramonte, some of the places where Bingo is offered are: Sleeping Giant Bingo in Hamden, Knights of Columbus in Guilford and Sons & Daughters of Italy in Wallingford.
