Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a national shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast response for the economic disaster and to produce revenue for his military. He thusly invented the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who migrated to the States for work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with 80 numbers in most of the US based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the basic fact that there are no expertise required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of getting a win are terrible, there is always the hope that you will win quite big with very little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with twenty numbers drawn each game. Players of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
