JOHNNY AND LAUREL CAME UP WITH THE ORIGINAL BANDINGO® MUSIC BINGO GAME IN FLORIDA IN 2017.  JOHNNY WAS A TRIVIA HOST AT PEGGY O'S IN DOWNTOWN PALM HARBOR, AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF HOSTING, THE OWNER, TAMARA, SAID TO HIM,

​

"I'LL HIRE YOU FOR MONDAY NIGHTS TOO IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT SOMETHING FUN FOR PEOPLE TO PLAY.  THE OTHER TRIVIA HOST DID BINGO EVERY MONDAY, BUT I REALLY HATE BINGO."  

​

I SHARED THIS WITH LAUREL AND SHE SAYS TO ME, "YOU'VE BEEN A DJ FOR A LONG TIME, SO COULDN'T YOU PUT BAND NAMES IN THE SQUARES ON A BINGO CARD AND PLAY THEIR SONGS? THEN PLAYERS COULD MARK THE SQUARES WHEN THEY HEAR THE BAND?"  I SAID, "THAT'S AMAZING BABE!  WHAT WOULD YOU YELL IF YOU WIN?"  SHE REPLIED, "BAND-BINGO!!!"  I MENTIONED HOW IT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT TO YELL TWO WORDS WHEN YOU WIN, SO SHE SAYS, "PUT THEM TOGETHER AND HAVE THEM YELL BANDINGO!"

 

 AND THAT MY FRIENDS, IS HOW THE DAUBER TO THE PAPER BEGAN!

​

IN OUR FIRST YEAR, WE WENT ON TO WIN THE "BEST OF THE BAY" AWARD IN 2018 FOR BEST TRIVIA NIGHT IN ALL OF TAMPA BAY! 

IN 2022, WE LAUNCHED DIGITAL DABS®, OUR ELECTRONIC MUSIC BINGO BOARD GENERATOR TO NOT ONLY SAVE TREES BUT ALSO PROVIDE AN EASY PLATFORM FOR ENTERTAINERS TO BUILD THEIR OWN BANDINGO® MUSIC BINGO BUSINESS!
