Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a financial resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the economic disaster and to acquire money for his army. He therefore invented the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the smaller towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the US for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is generally bet on with 80 numbers in almost all of the US based casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is largely played today because of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are little skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of winning are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you could hit quite big with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers 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 characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
