Keno was introduced in 200 BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a financial resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a rapid fix for the economic adversity and to acquire money for his army. He, as it follows invented the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who headed to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is generally enjoyed with just 80 numbers in almost all of American brick and mortar casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is largely played today as a consequence of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the basic fact that there are little skills needed to play Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of winning are horrible, there is constantly the chance that you will win quite large with very little gaming investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Players of Keno can select from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
