Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid fix for the financial adversity and to create income for his army. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who headed to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is typically wagered on with 80 numbers in a majority of American brick and mortar casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely loved today because of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of coming away with a win are terrible, there is always the hope that you will hit quite large with little gambling investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers with 20 numbers picked each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and bet 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 acceptance in the US near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that taxed off track wagering, Nevada casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
