Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a financial resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time seemed to be facing national famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid fix for the economic adversity and to produce revenue for his army. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the United States to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly gambled on with just 80 numbers in just about all of American brick and mortar casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is mainly played today as a consequence of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the simple reality that there are no expertise required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of winning are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you could win quite big with very little gambling investment.

Keno is played with eighty numbers with 20 numbers picked each game. Gamblers of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
