The game was popular with gamblers until about 1840, and was primarily an outdoor sport until about 1840. The state of Connecticut banned the game in 1841 in order to snuff out the gambling. As a result, indoor lane owners added one pin to their alleys to skirt the rules, in violation of the legislation.
Clubs tried organizing and establishing set rules. However, the American Bowling Congress didn't convene in 1895 at Beethoven Hall in New York City until 1895. The American Bowling Congress set a maximum score of 300, which is still stands today. They also established other laws, such as lane length, widths, and distances between pins.
