Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the economic disaster and to acquire money for his military. He therefore created 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 sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who came to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is normally played with just 80 numbers in most of American brick and mortar casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is commonly loved today because of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the basic fact that there are little skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of getting a win are appalling, there is always the possibility that you might win quite big with a tiny gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. Gamblers of Keno can select 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 bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track betting, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
