Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid fix for the financial calamity and to acquire income for his forces. He therefore designed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who came to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is typically bet on with 80 numbers in almost all of the US brick and mortar casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is mainly played today because of the laid back nature of playing the game and the simple fact that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of succeeding are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you could win quite big with a tiny gaming investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
