Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a monetary resource for his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid fix for the economic calamity and to acquire revenue for his forces. He, as it follows designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is generally bet on with eighty numbers in just about all of American based casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is commonly played today because of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the basic fact that there are no skills required to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of succeeding are terrible, there is always the chance that you will win quite big with very little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are picked each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
