Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid response for the financial calamity and to create income for his forces. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who came to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is most often enjoyed with just 80 numbers in just about all of the US based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is mainly liked today because of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the basic fact that there are no expertise required to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of succeeding are horrible, there is always the possibility that you will hit quite big with very little gaming investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers with 20 numbers picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in popularity in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with , US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering 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 come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track gambling, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
