Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a monetary resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast response for the financial adversity and to produce revenue for his military. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who headed to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is most often enjoyed with 80 numbers in a majority of the US based casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a result of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are little expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of succeeding are appalling, there is always the possibility that you might hit quite large with very little gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each game. Gamblers of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gambling in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track wagering, casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
