Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time appeared to be facing national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a fast response for the financial disaster and to acquire revenue for his forces. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is generally played with eighty numbers in most of American based casinos as well as net casinos. Keno is largely loved today because of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple reality that there are no expertise required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of succeeding are terrible, there is always the chance that you could hit quite large with a tiny gambling investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are drawn each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion 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 betting, casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
