Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after awhile of war time appeared to be facing national famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a quick fix for the financial calamity and to produce revenue for his army. He therefore invented the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is typically gambled on with just 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely played today as a result of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the simple fact that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of getting a win are horrible, there is constantly the chance that you might hit quite big with very little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each round. Players of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea 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, casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
