Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick fix for the financial adversity and to produce income for his forces. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger cities to the lesser towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who came to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with 80 numbers in almost all of the US based casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a result of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple reality that there are no expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of coming away with a win are appalling, there is always the possibility that you will win quite big with a tiny gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers drawn each round. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in acceptance in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
