Why Is Bingo Called Housie?

Bingo, along with other card games such as poker and blackjack, is usually called house because it historically involved gambling in casinos and other venues. Bingo was first developed in the early 19th century in England as a method of raising money for charity.

At first, bingo was only played by the lower classes, but over time it became a popular game among all socioeconomic groUPS.
