Keno trivia

Some interesting facts

The word "keno" has French or Latin roots, although the game's origins are Chinese. The game was invented some 3000 years ago by a ruler of a Chinese city involved in a long lasting war that all but exhausted all of city's resources. In order to draw more money from the citizens without additional taxation, he devised a game then simply known as "Chinese Lottery". Chinese Lottery did not use numbers, but first 120 Chinese characters from the "Thousand Character Poem", a poem in which none of the characters is repeated and was used to teach young children Chinese characters and calligraphy. Later the number was reduced to 80. Results of the widespread game were carried around to remote villages by means of carrier pigeons or messenger doves, resulting in the game being called also the White Pigeon Game. Keno lottery related taxes also helped to fund the Great Wall of China in its entirety.
