Keno’s History
Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a quick response for the financial calamity and to create money for his military. He thusly developed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is normally bet on with eighty numbers in a majority of the US land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a consequence of the laid back nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of winning are appalling, there is always the chance that you might win quite big with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with twenty numbers picked each round. Players of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
