Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a quick response for the economic adversity and to acquire revenue for his army. He thusly invented the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who came to the States for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally gambled on with 80 numbers in a majority of the US based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely played today as a consequence of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the simple fact that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of getting a win are terrible, there is always the chance that you could hit quite large with little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each round. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
