Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast response for the financial disaster and to acquire money for his army. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who came to the United States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is most often gambled on with eighty numbers in most of American brick and mortar casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is largely loved today because of the laid back nature of playing the game and the simple reality that there are little expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of succeeding are terrible, there is always the chance that you could hit quite big with a tiny gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each round. Players of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
