Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after awhile of war time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a rapid response for the economic disaster and to acquire money for his army. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the US for work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with eighty numbers in just about all of the US land based casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today because of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are little skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of getting a win are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you might hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, Nevada casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
