Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast fix for the financial adversity and to produce revenue for his military. He, as it follows created the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the United States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly played with 80 numbers in almost all of the US land based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is largely liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple fact that there are no skills needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of winning are appalling, there is constantly the possibility that you could hit quite large with little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can choose from 2 to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
