Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick response for the economic calamity and to acquire money for his forces. He, as it follows designed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who headed to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is most often bet on with just 80 numbers in most of American brick and mortar casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is largely liked today because of the laid back nature of playing the game and the basic fact that there are no skills required to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of succeeding are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you could hit quite big with a tiny gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in popularity in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track gambling, casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
