Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a quick fix for the economic adversity and to acquire income for his forces. He therefore invented the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with eighty numbers in a majority of the US based casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is largely loved today because of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are no expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of getting a win are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you might hit quite large with very little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with 20 numbers selected each round. Players of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept 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 swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
