Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a quick fix for the economic calamity and to acquire income for his army. He therefore created the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is normally played with eighty numbers in almost all of American brick and mortar casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is commonly liked today because of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the basic reality that there are little expertise needed to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is always the chance that you might hit quite big with little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track betting, Nevada casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
