Keno was introduced in 200 BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a rapid response for the economic adversity and to produce revenue for his army. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who migrated to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly enjoyed with eighty numbers in a majority of the US land based casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is commonly liked today because of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the basic reality that there are little expertise required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of coming away with a win are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you might win quite big with little gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each game. Players of Keno can choose from 2 to ten numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near 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 Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track gambling, Nevada casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
