• Keno’s History

    Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a monetary resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be facing national shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast fix for the economic adversity and to acquire money for his forces. He, as it follows developed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

    Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who headed to the US to work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

    Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with 80 numbers in almost all of American based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today because of the laid back nature of playing the game and the basic reality that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you might win quite big with a tiny gambling investment.

    Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

    Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, Nevada casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
