Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast response for the financial calamity and to create money for his military. He, as it follows invented the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who headed to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is most often played with 80 numbers in just about all of American based casinos along with online casinos. Keno is largely liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are little skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of coming away with a win are appalling, there is always the possibility that you will hit quite large with very little gaming investment.
Keno is played with eighty numbers with 20 numbers drawn each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State 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 want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
