Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a finance resource for his declining forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast response for the financial calamity and to produce money for his army. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger locations to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who headed to the States to work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with eighty numbers in almost all of the US brick and mortar casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is largely liked today because of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple reality that there are no skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of winning are horrible, there is always the chance that you will win quite large with very little gambling investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are picked each game. Gamblers of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing 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, casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
