Keno is one of the oldest known gambling games played in a casino.
Believe it or not, keno was invented 3000 years ago in China.
It was the ruler known as Cheung Leung that invented the game during the
Han Dynasty. During his time as ruler, his dynasty was becoming drawn
out because of all the money needed for war. They wanted to exhort more
money from the people but were unable to do so.
Since Cheung Leung was no longer able to tax out his people he though of
an ingenious way to raise money. He invented a game that is very similar
to the game of keno being played today. He created this game of chance
in which people will wager their property.
The game of Keno Cheung Leung invented was based on the poem "The
Thousand Character Classic". The poem was a way for Chinese people to
learn to count up to a thousand without any repeating characters. The
poem comprised of 250 phrases with 4 characters each. Only 120
characters were used out of the 250. The 120 characters were later on
subdivided into 8 characters for each subdivision.
