The Delusion That Is Keno - The Susceptibility Aspect

By Gregory Brooks


The origin of keno dates back to more than 200 years Before Christ, when it was used in China as an educational game to teach kids the thousand characters that were part of the Chinese learning system with the aid of a poem called the "The Thousand Character Classic", which includes a thousand non-repeating rhymes. Moreover, it was originally known as the Chinese Lottery and the credit for its invention rests with the Chinese General Cheung Leung, who used the first 120 characters to desing a betting system. It said that the wagering profits were saved for fighting the often invading barbarians. It has been written that the emperor played keno twice in a day and in modern China, the system exists to this day. Curiously, it said that doves were used to carry the results of the raffle. Keno landed in the United States of America along with the Chinese prospectors, who moved to California to settle there during the gold rush, and keno has never looked back ever since.

The popularity of the game keno has reached sky high, because it is an easy, uncomplicated game that does not depend on chance alone. You can win prizes as big as $1500 to $ 7500 with wagers as low as $1 to $5. However, you must be cautious, because keno has a 25% casino edge, and you can get into heavy defeats if you are not careful.

You should be an expert in maths, if you were to plan a strategy for keno. You could use strategies like "Chasing the old man", that is looking for the numbers that have been repeating themselves, and betting on these digits in hope that they will repeat. On the other hand, these numbers may not appear again, so far from living with hope that the numbers might repeat, accept the fact that it may not occur. There are some gamers who will bet on the non-repeating numbers on the assumption, that the number will appear at some point. Still, in the end, there is hope that lady luck will let you win.

With the advent of the Internet, the face of the gambling business also changed. Many of the brick and mortar casinos started their online activity, and this step was greatly welcomed by all players, who did not find the time and the patience to drive long distances to play at the brick and mortar casinos. The Internet now brought gambling to your computer at home, and you can play at any time convenient to you.

Apart from the game, gamers are now having an opportunity to help one another on the Internet and also use the chat to make friends around the world. In addition, the online chat feature helped the players to exchange ideas with each other and sharpen up their skills.

The extraordinary developments in the software sector have greatly enhanced the quality, graphics and interfacing features in online variations of gambling games that have turned into a treat for gamers both from the visual graphics point of view and the interfacing opportunities. Online Keno is turning out to be an amazing family activity and has so far stood up admirably to competition.
