Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a monetary resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast fix for the financial adversity and to create revenue for his military. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger cities to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who migrated to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally wagered on with just 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple reality that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of getting a win are terrible, there is always the hope that you might hit quite big with very little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers drawn each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from 2 to ten numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the United States near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
