Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a rapid fix for the economic disaster and to acquire revenue for his forces. He therefore created the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who headed to the States for work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly bet on with eighty numbers in most of the US based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is mainly loved today as a consequence of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic reality that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of winning are appalling, there is always the chance that you could win quite big with very little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. Players of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track gambling, Nevada casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
