Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of war time appeared to be looking at a national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a rapid response for the financial calamity and to create income for his forces. He, as it follows developed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who came to the States for work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly played with just 80 numbers in just about all of American land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely liked today because of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple fact that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of coming away with a win are terrible, there is constantly the hope that you might hit quite big with very little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can choose from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada 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, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
