Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick response for the financial disaster and to create money for his military. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who came to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is generally bet on with 80 numbers in just about all of American based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is mainly loved today as a result of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the simple reality that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of getting a win are terrible, there is constantly the chance that you will hit quite large with little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from two 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 popularity in the US since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
