Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a quick response for the financial calamity and to acquire money for his forces. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the US to work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly played with 80 numbers in a majority of the US based casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is commonly loved today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are little expertise needed to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of winning are terrible, there is always the hope that you will win quite large with very little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers selected each round. Players of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track gambling, casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
