The History of Keno
Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing national famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a rapid fix for the economic calamity and to acquire money for his army. He therefore invented the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the States to work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
Today, Keno is normally gambled on with eighty numbers in a majority of American based casinos along with online casinos. Keno is mainly liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is constantly the possibility that you could win quite big with little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each game. Gamblers of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
