Keno was first played in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a rapid response for the financial disaster and to create income for his forces. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who headed to the United States to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is generally bet on with just 80 numbers in a majority of American based casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is commonly played today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple fact that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are terrible, there is constantly the possibility that you might win quite big with little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are picked each round. Gamblers of Keno can select from two 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 roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
