Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the financial calamity and to produce income for his army. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who headed to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is typically gambled on with 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is largely enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic reality that there are little skills required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of getting a win are terrible, there is always the hope that you could win quite large with little gaming investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are picked each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in popularity in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed 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 betting, the casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
