History of Keno Casino Games

It’s thought that the game of keno that we know and love today originated in China, even though the word 'keno' has Latin roots. In China, the game has a legendary origin story.

It’s said that the invention of keno saved an ancient Chinese city from destruction at a time of war, and the game's popularity in the years that followed helped to fund the Great Wall of China.

However, it wasn’t until the nineteenth century that keno, in the form of a lottery, became widely accepted throughout Chinese society.

In 1847, the Portuguese government of Macau granted a license to lottery operators for the first time. Throughout the rest of the century, keno became an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.

In rural China, results of keno draws were sent to villages via carrier pigeons, resulting in the game becoming known as 'white dove tickets' and 'pigeon tickets' in certain Chinese regions.

Toward the end of the 19th century, the Chinese established a sophisticated keno system. The game used printed sheets of Chinese characters, typically the first eighty of the Thousand Character Classic.

The first known introduction of keno outside of China was thought to be in Houston, Texas. The game was taken by Chinese immigrants - commissioned to work on constructing the first transcontinental railroad - to the state of Texas. It was initially known as 'boc hop bu' in the United States, which was a westernisation of the Cantonese name of the game, translated to pigeon tickets.

However, by 1870, the Chinese lottery game had a new American name – keno. It quickly spread to other states and cities in the United States, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Traditional Keno Games

In many respects, keno is one of the simplest games you can play at BetSea.net. In traditional games, your job is to select the number of consecutive draws (10-20 numbers) on a sheet of paper, ranging from 1-80. In this regard, it’s similar to bingo and lottery games.

When the balls are drawn, you receive a payout depending on how many numbers you select accurately. Traditionally, keno is played with a ball machine with imprinted numbers, which are entered into a transparent container, where they are spun and drawn.

Ultimately, the more consecutive numbers you match on your keno card, the bigger your payout. One thing to note about keno is that the payouts in a single game will differ from platform to platform, so it’s important to check the paytable before placing a bet.

Traditional keno games are extremely straightforward and have been popular for generations. But thanks to technological advancements and the prominence of online gaming, keno games today have many attractive features, as explained below.

How to Play Keno Game Online

Online keno games rely on a random number generator (RNG) to reveal the winning numbers instead of a draw, which is the case in traditional keno.

Online keno games typically comprise excellent graphics and are sometimes themed, making things more aesthetically pleasing and engaging for players.

One of the best things about online keno is that you can play wherever you are, and you don’t need to wait for carrier pigeons. You can easily make your selections at BetSea Casino and learn how much you stand to win within seconds, with keno bonus offers and casino promotions available.

Before playing keno online, remember that it’s a game of luck. It’s not like certain card games that incorporate an element of skill and strategy, as the result of keno is based on a random number generator. However, tips and tricks can be used when playing the free demo game.
