Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a monetary resource for his declining forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a quick response for the economic adversity and to acquire revenue for his military. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who headed to the United States for work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly wagered on with eighty numbers in a majority of the US brick and mortar casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a result of the laid back nature of betting the game and the basic reality that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is always the possibility that you could hit quite large with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each round. Players of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track gambling, Nevada casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
