Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the financial calamity and to produce income for his forces. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who headed to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is normally wagered on with eighty numbers in most of American based casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is commonly loved today because of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the simple reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of succeeding are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you will win quite large with little gambling investment.

Keno is played with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are picked each game. Players of Keno can select from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
