Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, 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 facing country wide famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a rapid response for the economic adversity and to produce revenue for his military. He therefore invented 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 sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally gambled on with just 80 numbers in almost all of the US based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today as a result of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple fact that there are little skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are terrible, there is always the chance that you will hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers picked each game. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with , American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in.
