Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his declining army. 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 drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a rapid fix for the economic disaster and to produce revenue for his forces. He, as it follows created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally bet on with eighty numbers in almost all of American land based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a result of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are no skills required to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is constantly the hope that you will hit quite large with very little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are picked each round. Players of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track gambling, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
