Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time appeared to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a fast response for the economic adversity and to acquire income for his military. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who headed to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is generally played with eighty numbers in just about all of American based casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is mainly played today as a result of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple reality that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of succeeding are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you will win quite big with very little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each game. Players of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, the casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
