To my surprise I haven't found as much about the exclamatory origin of the word "bingo" as I was hoping. However, I found out that it was in the 1920's that the word bingo was already used to imply a moment's surprise and excitement.
The word bingo, as I am sure you know, was used in English much earlier than that but it had different connotations altogether.
