As many Brits already know, bingo has become quite the part of the country\u2019s culture. That\u2019s quite the achievement, considering most experts believe the general game of bingo originated somewhere in Italy during the 16th<\/sup> century. From there, the game spread into France and then migrated over to the shores of Britain and various other European locations. With the UK introduction of the Betting and Gaming Act 1960, large cash prizes were legalised for bingo games, and the year of 1961 saw the launch of Mecca Bingo \u2013 a brand that still exists today.<\/p>\n That brand was owned by Mecca Leisure Group, led by Eric Morley. He went ahead and introduced bingo to 60 of his dancehalls, including the well-known Lyceum Ballroom. In the proceeding years, other bingo operators sprung up, including The Rank Organisation, which hosted bingo at its popular Blackpool Odeon cinema.<\/p>\n Today, a vast plethora of bingo halls can be found across Great Britain, attracting thousands of weekly visitors to their games.
