Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be facing national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick response for the economic adversity and to acquire money for his army. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who came to the US for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is generally gambled on with just 80 numbers in most of the US based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely enjoyed today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the basic reality that there are little expertise required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of winning are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you could hit quite large with very little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are picked each game. Players of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
