 In 1778, it became popular in France, and it was known as le Lato. I'm sure my French is terrible there. It's featuring a card that modern bingo players are probably familiar with. It had numbers and nine columns with three different rows. Looks pretty similar to what we would use now in bingo. The game became popular in the United States in the late 1920s, known as Bino. I'd read this before. Bino.
