Keno’s History
Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed 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 acquire money for his forces. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the United States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is regularly wagered on with just 80 numbers in just about all of American based casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is largely liked today as a result of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of succeeding are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you will hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. Gamblers of Keno can select from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with , US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of 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 the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
