Bingo play is a form of gambling that has a rich history. From its earliest days, Bingo has been linked to fundraising efforts, charity events and even educational games. This socially acceptable side to bingo play has meant a distinct cognitive change to this as a gambling, or casino game. Bingo is seen as a much softer form of gambling and is often played in some form at home, in schools and even at church and charity functions. Unintentionally, perhaps, but the cognitive effect has been that large amounts of youth around the world have played the game, and bingo has been the entry game into the world of casino play.
