Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a financial resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after awhile of war time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast response for the economic disaster and to create income for his military. He therefore created the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who headed to the States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally bet on with 80 numbers in almost all of the US based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is mainly liked today because of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic reality that there are no expertise needed to play Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of succeeding are appalling, there is always the chance that you could win quite big with little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with 20 numbers selected each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
