Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a monetary resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick response for the economic disaster and to acquire revenue for his army. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who migrated to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is typically wagered on with eighty numbers in most of the US land based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is mainly enjoyed today as a result of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the basic fact that there are no expertise required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of getting a win are terrible, there is constantly the possibility that you could win quite large with very little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount 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 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track wagering, the casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
