Keno was first played in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a finance resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the financial disaster and to create revenue for his army. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who headed to the United States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly enjoyed with 80 numbers in a majority of the US land based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is mainly loved today because of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the simple fact that there are no expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of winning are terrible, there is always the chance that you might hit quite big with very little gambling investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are picked each game. Players of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, 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 lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that taxed off track wagering, Nevada casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
