Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a quick fix for the financial adversity and to create income for his army. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who headed to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is most often enjoyed with just 80 numbers in most of the US based casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is mainly liked today because of the laid back nature of betting the game and the basic fact that there are little skills needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of coming away with a win are appalling, there is always the hope that you will hit quite large with very little gaming investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each game. Players of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track betting, the casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
