Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a financial resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after awhile of war time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick fix for the financial adversity and to create income for his forces. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who headed to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with just 80 numbers in most of American brick and mortar casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is mainly loved today as a result of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are no expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are terrible, there is always the hope that you might hit quite large with very little gaming investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers selected each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion 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 betting, Nevada casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
