Russian translation:Bingo

Explanation:
Bingo is the man's name, leave it as it is. From the context, he sounds to me like Bingo Little, a character in several novels by P.G. Wodehouse.
But if you want the word itself explained, the answers above are fine. One more use of the word (in a military air context) is "low on supplies", e.g. "Bingo on fuel!".

Thank you. This sentence is from Wodehouse really. But as I have just a short piece of text I didn't understand that 'Bingo' is a name.

Игрок

Explanation:
Bingo это игра типа лото или что-то в этом роде.

Но ждесь это идет как имя нарицательное, то есть Игрок.

Также bingo является восклицанием, выражающим радость, типа \"Эврика! Нашел!\" или \"Ура! Выиграл!\".

Но здесь все-таки Игрок.
