The background of Keno
Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a fast fix for the financial calamity and to produce revenue for his army. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who migrated to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is typically gambled on with just 80 numbers in almost all of American based casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is commonly loved today as a consequence of the laid back nature of playing the game and the simple reality that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is always the hope that you could win quite big with a tiny gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are selected each game. Players of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
