Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a fast fix for the financial adversity and to produce revenue for his army. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger locations to the smaller villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who headed to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is generally bet on with 80 numbers in just about all of the US land based casinos along with online casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a consequence of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic reality that there are little expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of succeeding are appalling, there is always the possibility that you might hit quite big with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos 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’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track wagering, the casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
