The game of bingo varies, depending on which version of the game is played. The game of bingo evolved from the sixteenth century national lottery in Italy called Lo Giucco del Lotto D’Italia. The game was very popular in Italy and quickly spread throughout Europe. In England it evolved into a ninety number game played on tickets which have three lines and nine columns. There are five numbers in the three lines with the rest of the spaces left blank. Games are played for one line, two lines or all three lines which is called housie. In America the ritz club casino game was restructured by a toy salesman who paid for the development of unique bingo cards. He came up with six thousand different versions of cards made by a five number by five number grid with the letters B, I, N, G and O across the top. The game is played with seventy-five numbers.
