[ English ]

Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing national famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a rapid response for the economic calamity and to acquire revenue for his military. He, as it follows developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is normally wagered on with 80 numbers in almost all of American land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is commonly loved today as a result of the laid back nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are appalling, there is always the hope that you could hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers drawn each game. Gamblers of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, the casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
