Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a financial resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of war time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a quick response for the economic disaster and to produce money for his army. He thusly created the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who headed to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with eighty numbers in a majority of American land based casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is mainly played today as a consequence of the laid back nature of betting the game and the basic reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of coming away with a win are terrible, there is constantly the chance that you could win quite large with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers drawn each round. Gamblers of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, the casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
