Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a quick response for the financial disaster and to acquire revenue for his army. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger cities to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is typically wagered on with 80 numbers in just about all of American land based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today because of the relaxed nature of wagering the game and the basic reality that there are no skills needed to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of winning are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you might hit quite big with little gambling investment.

Keno is played with eighty numbers with twenty numbers picked each round. Gamblers of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept 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 swiftly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
