• Keno’s History

    Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be facing national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a fast fix for the economic adversity and to acquire income for his forces. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.

    Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger cities to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who headed to the US for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

    Today, Keno is most often enjoyed with eighty numbers in most of American brick and mortar casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely enjoyed today as a result of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the basic fact that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of winning are appalling, there is constantly the possibility that you could hit quite big with very little gaming investment.

    Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from 2 to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

    Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that taxed off track wagering, casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
