Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a finance resource for his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the economic disaster and to produce revenue for his forces. He thusly invented 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 broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who came to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is most often gambled on with 80 numbers in a majority of the US land based casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is commonly loved today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the simple reality that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of getting a win are terrible, there is constantly the hope that you will hit quite big with little gaming investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are selected each round. Players of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
