Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the economic adversity and to create revenue for his military. He, as it follows developed the game we now know 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 smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly wagered on with 80 numbers in most of the US brick and mortar casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are no expertise required to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of winning are horrible, there is constantly the chance that you could hit quite big with very little gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers drawn each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in popularity in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
