Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the economic adversity and to create revenue for his military. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is most often gambled on with 80 numbers in just about all of American based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is mainly played today as a consequence of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of succeeding are horrible, there is always the possibility that you could hit quite big with little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers selected each round. Players of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, the casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
