Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his failing army. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the financial adversity and to create money for his forces. He thusly invented the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who headed to the States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is normally enjoyed with just 80 numbers in most of the US brick and mortar casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a result of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the simple reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of coming away with a win are appalling, there is always the possibility that you could win quite big with very little gaming investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers selected each game. Gamblers of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the United States since the close of the 19th century 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 adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track gambling, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
