The background of Keno
Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after some time appeared to be looking at a national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast response for the financial adversity and to acquire revenue for his army. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who migrated to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Regardless of the fact that the odds of winning are appalling, there is constantly the hope that you will win quite large with little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers drawn each round. Gamblers of Keno can choose from two to 10 numbers and gamble 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 has grown in acceptance in the United States since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with , American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in.
