Bingo is an old game of chance and is estimated to have roots that go back centuries. Since then, it has evolved and spread across the world, growing popular in African countries like Ghana. It is not certain when it was introduced there or by whom, although it certainly has been around for many decades.
Bingo gained more fame when churches began to use it to raise funds for charities. In Ghana, it is estimated that bingo began to gain popularity in the 1950s and, soon enough, it was part of the national culture. Over the years, bingo adapted to the evolving society, becoming accessible to vast demographics like young people and women.
