Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a financial resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the economic calamity and to create revenue for his military. He therefore invented the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is generally enjoyed with just 80 numbers in most of the US based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely loved today because of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are no expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of coming away with a win are terrible, there is always the possibility that you could win quite big with very little gaming investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are selected each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in the state of Nevada 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 looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
