Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the financial disaster and to produce revenue for his military. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger cities to the lesser towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who migrated to the States for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly gambled on with just 80 numbers in almost all of American land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of getting a win are appalling, there is constantly the possibility that you might win quite big with little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers drawn each game. Gamblers of Keno can choose from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing 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, casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
