Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast response for the economic calamity and to produce revenue for his forces. He therefore created 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 delivered by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is normally played with 80 numbers in most of American based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is commonly loved today because of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the basic reality that there are little skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the chances of winning are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you might win quite large with very little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with 20 numbers picked each game. Gamblers of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
