What is a Keno lottery?

Speaking of Keno, your first thought must be Keno Reeves, a cool guy dressed in black in The Matrix. Although they have the same Chinese name, this Keno is not Bikino. Of course, lottery Keno and movie star Keno also have some similarities. Apart from being very popular, they have an indissoluble bond with China. Gino Reeves is very popular among China fans because he is a quarter of China origin. As a native of China in the western lottery field, Keno Lottery will also make China lottery players feel unprecedented intimacy. According to an ancient Western file, Keno game originated in China more than 2,000 years ago. A Han man named Zhang Liang invented this game of chance to save his city. Zhang Liang's city fought for many years, because the residents in the city refused to provide any financial support for the war, and the army quickly exhausted all the materials, and the city was in crisis. Zhang Liang Farming's digital game brought income and all necessities to the army, so the city was saved. In the following year, the game quickly spread throughout China and raised enough funds for the construction of the Great Wall. In China, this game is called "White Dove Game", which is named after people use homing pigeons to transmit the winning numbers from big cities to rural areas. The records of pigeon tickets in China are slightly different. As the earliest optional digital lottery ticket in China, the pigeon ticket originated from the early pigeon gambling. In the pigeon race, each pigeon is numbered according to the sequence of 80 words such as "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong and Huang" in China's enlightenment book "Thousand Characters", and then the pigeons are released, so that people can guess which racing pigeon can win. If the guessed font size is the same as the competition result, it is the winner. With the passage of time, the play of pigeon tickets has gradually changed. The lottery company prints the first 80 characters of the "thousand-word text" on the lottery ticket, and each betting player circles 10 characters on the ticket, and then the lottery company issues 20 bottom characters, which is equivalent to the winning number. Among the 10 words circled in the lottery, if there are more than five words matching, it is the prize. No matter which statement is more accurate, one thing is certain-the birthplace of Keno is China. Later, with American immigrants to the United States to build railways, Keno lottery was introduced to northern China. Although it was operated illegally at first, Keno is still very popular among immigrants from China, and it is called "China Lottery" in San Francisco and other cities. However, at that time, Keno still used Chinese characters as betting numbers in China, so it failed to quickly integrate into the mainstream culture of the United States. It was not until the19th century that Chinese characters were replaced by corresponding numbers, and the history of Keno was further developed. 193 1 year, Nevada legislature legalized some gambling, but this did not include lottery tickets. In order to let Keno continue to develop, the "China Lottery" was renamed as "Horse Racing Keno", pretending that the number on the lottery was the number of a horse race, and the lottery players were betting on which horse would win. Later, when the government passed a law and began to tax off-track betting, Nevada renamed Keno as what we now call Keno.
