Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a financial resource for his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid fix for the economic disaster and to acquire money for his army. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who headed to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is generally bet on with 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is largely enjoyed today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the simple fact that there are no skills required to play Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of getting a win are appalling, there is constantly the hope that you will hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are picked each game. Gamblers of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want 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 US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion 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, casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
