Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing national shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a quick fix for the economic adversity and to create revenue for his forces. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who came to the US for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is typically gambled on with just 80 numbers in most of American brick and mortar casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the simple reality that there are little expertise required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of succeeding are appalling, there is always the possibility that you could win quite big with very little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are picked each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track gambling, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
