Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick response for the financial disaster and to create income for his military. He thusly created the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is typically wagered on with 80 numbers in almost all of American brick and mortar casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is mainly played today because of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple reality that there are little expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of getting a win are appalling, there is always the chance that you might win quite big with very little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers drawn each round. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion 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 gambling, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
