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 declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a quick response for the financial disaster and to produce money for his army. He, as it follows invented the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger cities to the smaller villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who came to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with just 80 numbers in almost all of the US land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is largely liked today because of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of getting a win are horrible, there is always the possibility that you could win quite large with little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to ten numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
