Keno was introduced in 200 BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a financial resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after awhile of war time appeared to be looking at a national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a quick response for the economic calamity and to create money for his forces. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who came to the United States for work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is typically bet on with 80 numbers in most of American brick and mortar casinos along with net casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a result of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are no expertise required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of getting a win are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you will hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. 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 pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track gambling, Nevada casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
