Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a rapid fix for the financial adversity and to create money for his military. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who headed to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly played with just 80 numbers in a majority of the US based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is mainly loved today because of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are little expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of winning are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you will win quite large with very little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each round. Players of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in popularity in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of wagering 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 looking for your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
