Keno was first played in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid response for the economic adversity and to produce revenue for his army. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who headed to the States to work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly played with eighty numbers in just about all of the US brick and mortar casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely liked today as a consequence of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple fact that there are little expertise required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of winning are terrible, there is always the chance that you could hit quite big with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers drawn each game. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track wagering, Nevada casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
