Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast fix for the financial calamity and to create money for his forces. He therefore invented the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the US for work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is most often bet on with just 80 numbers in a majority of American based casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is mainly liked today because of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are little skills required to play Keno. Despite the fact that the chances of coming away with a win are appalling, there is always the hope that you could win quite big with very little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with twenty numbers picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track gambling, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
