Keno’s History
Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid fix for the economic disaster and to produce revenue for his forces. He therefore designed the game we know today 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 broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is typically played with just 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is mainly enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are no skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of winning are appalling, there is always the possibility that you might win quite big with little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each game. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the United States near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track gambling, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
