In the United States, ten pins were already fairly standard by 1895, when the American Bowling Congress was founded.

But in the 1840s, several states approved a ban on ninepin bowling, in part because of the gambling associated with the sport. So proprietors added a tenth pin, rearranged the rack into its current triangle shape, and the sport of tenpin bowling was born.
