Bing Bing! Bingo (ビンビン!ビンゴ , "Sweet! Bingo")[4] is a Japanese Bingo video game released on December 22, 1993 for the Super Famicom. This video game enjoyed an exclusive Japanese market. A party mode is present for two players.
The basic concept of Bing Bing! Bingo is that the player is on a vacation to a private island somewhere in the world that is known for their Bingo-oriented lifestyle.
He can either play Bingo through a slot machine, while skydiving, aplay a game of Bingo with Santa Claus, and an option to play Bingo on a pirate ship. There is also arm wrestling and a mode where players get to make imaginary wagers on the horses in case the player does not like Bingo. However, the numbers are announced in Japanese rather than English, so knowledge of Japanese numbers is vital for multiplayer action. Full card Bingo is mandatory for single player games but party games can use any variation of Bingo that the players consent to.
Bing Bing! Bingo was never scheduled for a North American release, because video games over there at that time were made for adolescent males. That specific demographic of players in North America (who were the majority of the games during the 1990s) had a strong preference towards action, arcade, and sports games. Releasing a Bingo game in the North America would have been considered to be committing financial suicide. There was a Bingo-like Game Boy game called Panel Action Bingo which was a puzzle/action game where a bird has to avoid a cat.

Bing & Bing was one of the most important apartment real estate developers in New York City in the early 20th century.
The firm was founded by Leo S. Bing and his brother, Alexander M. Bing. The brothers often worked with the architect Emery Roth on buildings like The Alden, at 82nd and Central Park West, and the Southgate complex of apartment houses on the south side of 52nd Street between First Avenue and the East River. In 1985, the heirs of the Bings sold most of their buildings to a partnership led by Martin J. Raynes.
The firm had a reputation for building "stately, spacious apartments in elegantly detailed buildings that often had Art Deco touches." Bing & Bing buildings, all built for the luxury market, often feature multiple setbacks with private terraces. According to the New York Times, "The Bing & Bing buildings are regarded as among the city's finest prewar properties."
Alexander Bing (1879 – 1959) was also an author, artist, art patron and philanthropist. Bing was the first president of the Regional Planning Association of America, and the primary source of funding for the City Housing Corporation, the organization behind the development of housing landmark Sunnyside Gardens in Astoria, Queens, and the planned community of Radburn, New Jersey. Late in life Bing also started the Friends of the Whitney Museum of American Art, with David Sholinger and Roy Neuberger.
