Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the financial disaster and to acquire revenue for his forces. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with 80 numbers in most of American based casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is commonly played today because of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple fact that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of winning are horrible, there is always the hope that you could hit quite big with little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling 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 are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
