Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid fix for the financial adversity and to produce revenue for his forces. He therefore developed the game we now know 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 broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who migrated to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is most often enjoyed with 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos as well as web casinos. Keno is mainly liked today because of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the basic reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of succeeding are horrible, there is constantly the possibility that you will win quite big with very little gaming investment.

Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One.
