Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a quick response for the financial adversity and to create revenue for his forces. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who migrated to the States for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is most often wagered on with 80 numbers in most of the US brick and mortar casinos along with online casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today as a result of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are no expertise required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of succeeding are appalling, there is always the hope that you could hit quite big with little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are selected each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, the casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
