Keno was first played in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a monetary resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after some time appeared to be facing national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a fast fix for the financial adversity and to create money for his military. He thusly created the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger cities to the lesser towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who came to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is most often bet on with 80 numbers in almost all of the US based casinos as well as internet casinos. Keno is commonly played today as a consequence of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of coming away with a win are appalling, there is constantly the hope that you will win quite big with a tiny gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers picked each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and wager 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 grew in acceptance in the US near 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 wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing 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 betting, the casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
