Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a monetary resource for his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the financial calamity and to produce revenue for his military. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger cities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States to work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is generally wagered on with just 80 numbers in most of the US based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a result of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of getting a win are appalling, there is always the possibility that you will hit quite large with little gaming investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
