Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a monetary resource for his failing forces. The metropolis 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 needed to come up with a quick fix for the financial calamity and to create money for his military. He thusly invented the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with just 80 numbers in almost all of American based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is largely enjoyed today as a result of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of succeeding are horrible, there is always the chance that you will win quite large with little gaming investment.

Keno is played with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are selected each round. Players of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track gambling, Nevada casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
