Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after some time appeared to be facing national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the economic disaster and to produce income for his army. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger cities to the lesser towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who came to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly bet on with eighty numbers in just about all of American brick and mortar casinos along with net casinos. Keno is mainly liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the simple reality that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of getting a win are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you will win quite big with little gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers drawn each round. Players of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
