Beano

An early form of Bingo played in 1920’s America. It was called Beano, because beans were used to cover the numbers. The winner of each round would shout ‘Beano!’ and it believed that the modern game of ‘Bingo’ arose as mispronunciation of this. Players of bingo online can, of course, shout anything they like when they win!
