Keno was introduced in 200 BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a fast response for the economic adversity and to produce revenue for his army. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who came to the States to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly bet on with eighty numbers in almost all of American brick and mortar casinos along with online casinos. Keno is commonly liked today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the basic reality that there are little expertise required to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of coming away with a win are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you might hit quite large with a tiny gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers selected each game. Players of Keno can select from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced 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 lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
