What is so special about keno

The integrity of the cities had to be preserved at all costs, but the new taxes should be avoided, because residents already were on the verge of exhaustion and frustration.

This “action” promised decent prizes to the winners, so ther were a great amount of those wishing to try their luck. The result was not long in coming: the city was able to organize an army and to save the city thanks to the money got.

The Lottery

A new game was often called “white dove”, as these birds informed the population about the results of the lottery. Moreover, it is believed that the Great Wall of China was also built at the expense of keno. Overall, the game is quite simple. The Chinese of that era must have been incredibly surprised to learn that their so uncomplicated invention is still popular all over the world. Keno was brought to the United States by Chinese immigrants, who came to work on the railroad in the early 19th century. For these reasons, keno became known as the Chinese lottery. As mentioned above, originally it was necessary to choose the symbols instead of digits.

Only in America the symbols were replaced with numbers, because the local population did not know the meaning of Chinese images. In the 30s of the 20th century keno appeared in casinos.
