Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast response for the financial disaster and to acquire income for his forces. He thusly created the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who came to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is most often enjoyed with 80 numbers in just about all of American land based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is mainly loved today as a result of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are no expertise required to play Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of coming away with a win are terrible, there is always the chance that you might hit quite big with very little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers picked each round. Players of Keno can pick from two 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 has grown in popularity in the US since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
