Wonder How the Game of Keno Originated?

It's truly nice at times to know how a certain object or concept originated because there could be a lot of interesting tidbits that you'd learn on the way and it can also make you appreciate the subject even more.

If you've ever wondered how the game of keno originated then you've hit upon the right page because this article shall enlighten you about the origins of keno.

The origins of keno can be dated as far back as 200 BC. An ancient scroll relays to us how Cheung Leung introduced the game of keno to other people while his city was at war. War is an ever costly thing and Cheung Leung, like any other military officer, was encountering problems on finding sources for funding.

Cheung Leung invented the game of keno and introduced this to his countrymen. It was an instant hit! In just ten days, Cheung Leung was actually able to come up with as much as 1000 pieces of silver! What's more, the money generated by keno games that were being played all over the country was then used for war funds. In fact, the funds generated by keno were also utilized in building the Great Wall of China. Amazing, isn't it?

Back then, the game of keno was also known as the White Pigeon Game or the Game of the White Dove due to the fact that white birds were used to deliver the results or list of winning numbers to people living in the outskirts of the larger cities. Back then, the game of keno also used characters, rather than the numbers 1 to 80.

These symbols or characters formed the first 80 characters of an ancient poem entitled "The Thousand Character Classic" and was used to teach children how to read and write.

Chinese immigrants introduced the game of keno to the United States when they came for employment during the Old West.

Modern Keno As time passed by, the use of Chinese characters in the game of keno were soon replaced by the numbers of 1 to 80 to make the game easier to play. The game of keno can now be played not only in live and online casinos but also in restaurants, community halls and any other public event.

In recent times, lottery versions of keno also came into being and each keno version has its own formula and set of rules.
