Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be facing national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast response for the economic disaster and to create income for his army. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who headed to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with just 80 numbers in just about all of the US brick and mortar casinos along with net casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple fact that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of winning are terrible, there is always the chance that you will hit quite big with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with 20 numbers picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea 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 wagering, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
