Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his declining forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a fast fix for the financial calamity and to produce money for his military. He, as it follows designed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who came to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is typically bet on with eighty numbers in just about all of the US land based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is largely enjoyed today as a result of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are little expertise required to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of getting a win are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you could hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers drawn each round. Players of Keno can choose from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track betting, casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
