Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing army. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast response for the financial adversity and to create money for his army. He therefore designed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who migrated to the US for work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is normally wagered on with just 80 numbers in just about all of American brick and mortar casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the simple fact that there are little expertise needed to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of coming away with a win are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you might win quite large with little gambling investment.
Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers selected each round. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
