Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after some time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the financial disaster and to create revenue for his military. He, as it follows created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who came to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is most often bet on with 80 numbers in almost all of American based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is commonly loved today because of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the simple reality that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of succeeding are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you could win quite large with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each game. Gamblers of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as 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 US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of 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 wagering, Nevada casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
