Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a finance resource for his failing army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a rapid fix for the economic adversity and to acquire revenue for his army. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who headed to the US to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly wagered on with 80 numbers in a majority of the US brick and mortar casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is commonly liked today because of the laid back nature of betting the game and the basic reality that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of winning are terrible, there is constantly the chance that you might hit quite big with very little gaming investment.

Keno is played with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each round. Gamblers of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching 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 gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, the casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
