Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a finance resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of war time seemed to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a rapid response for the financial calamity and to acquire money for his military. He thusly developed 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 delivered by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who headed to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally played with 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a result of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are little skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are appalling, there is constantly the possibility that you will hit quite big with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers with twenty numbers selected each game. Gamblers of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
