Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a finance resource for his declining forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a quick fix for the economic disaster and to produce revenue for his military. He therefore created the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who headed to the US to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is most often enjoyed with just 80 numbers in a majority of the US based casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the simple fact that there are little expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of getting a win are appalling, there is constantly the hope that you could win quite big with little gaming investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers with 20 numbers selected each game. Players of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and bet 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 popularity in the US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that taxed off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
