Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the financial disaster and to acquire income for his army. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the States for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly gambled on with eighty numbers in almost all of American based casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is mainly loved today as a result of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple fact that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of getting a win are appalling, there is always the chance that you will hit quite large with little gaming investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track gambling, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
