Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick response for the financial adversity and to acquire revenue for his army. He thusly developed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger locations to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who came to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is normally gambled on with 80 numbers in just about all of American based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are little skills required to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of coming away with a win are terrible, there is constantly the hope that you might win quite large with a tiny gaming investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers with 20 numbers selected each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track betting, the casinos swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
