Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his declining forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a quick fix for the economic disaster and to produce money for his forces. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who headed to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with just 80 numbers in just about all of the US brick and mortar casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely loved today because of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple reality that there are no expertise required to play Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of winning are terrible, there is always the possibility that you will win quite large with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with 20 numbers selected each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble 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 matching of numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track gambling, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
