Bovine bingo is another of the more notable modern variations of bingo that has achieved some significant status in American culture. It is a game of chance that is is not really a form of bingo, but more a form of lottery and it's typically played for fundraising purposes for some charitable effort. Bovine bingo is set up by marking out a grid of rectangles on an enclosed land area (for e.g. a paddock or farm field) by chalking lines. The grid cells are then numbered (or otherwise identified), and chances are sold on each cell. A cow (or other livestock animal) is then let loose within the enclosure. The winner is determined based on where the first "cowflop" (defecation) lands!
The history of Bingo can be traced way back to around 1530 in Italy where a game called Lotto was played. The name 'Bingo' actually comes from a corruption of the name 'Beano', which is the name of a form of bingo that was played in the United States around the 1920s. Beano was so called because beans were used to cover the numbers. Below we've provided a couple free bingo game links for you.
