Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast response for the financial adversity and to produce money for his forces. He therefore invented the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the United States to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is most often wagered on with just 80 numbers in a majority of the US land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely liked today because of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic reality that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are terrible, there is constantly the chance that you might hit quite large with very little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers drawn each round. Players of Keno can select from 2 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 bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track gambling, the casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
