 |  Keno
Ancient Chinese scrolls indicate that Cheung Leung introduced the game we now call keno around 200 BC. Cheung’s city was at war for several years and was beginning to run out of supplies.
The people of his city refused to contribute any more to his war fund, so the resourceful Cheung created a game of chance to produce revenue for his army.
This game, keno, was an instant success and the city was saved.
Spreading throughout China, keno was used to help fund the building of the Great Wall.
If you’re familiar with any lotto, you already know a lot of what you need to play keno. Keno is similar to lotto only it offers better odds and more frequent games. The drawback - a whopping house advantage of around 30 percent! The game consists of three major components; the keno ticket, the ball hopper or cage and a display board. In it's simplest terms, the game works like this:
Players mark from 1 to 20 spots on a ticket.
A machine of some type selects 20 balls at random, out of 80. Each ball is marked with a number from 1 to 80.
The 20 selected numbers are displayed on the display board.
Players can win if enough of the spots selected on their ticket match the balls drawn.
Almost every winning combination for keno has odds of greater than 10:1 and most are in the 100:1 range or beyond.
