Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his failing army. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid response for the economic disaster and to produce money for his military. He thusly invented the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the US to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly played with eighty 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 playing the game and the simple reality that there are little expertise needed to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of winning are terrible, there is constantly the hope that you might win quite big with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers picked each round. Players of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and bet 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 universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that taxed off track gambling, the casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
