Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a monetary resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be facing national famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a quick response for the financial adversity and to create money for his army. He, as it follows created the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who headed to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is typically played with eighty numbers in just about all of American based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is mainly enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is constantly the hope that you might hit quite big with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each game. Players of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming 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 looking for your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track wagering, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
