Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick fix for the economic adversity and to acquire revenue for his military. He therefore invented the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the US for work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is most often gambled on with 80 numbers in almost all of the US based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is largely liked today as a consequence of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of succeeding are appalling, there is always the possibility that you could hit quite big with very little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, the casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
