Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his declining army. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of war time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the economic adversity and to create income for his military. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with 80 numbers in a majority of American based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are little expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of winning are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you might win quite big with little gaming investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each game. Players of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout 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 close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
