Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a national shortage of food with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast response for the financial disaster and to create revenue for his forces. He thusly developed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who headed to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is normally wagered on with eighty numbers in almost all of American brick and mortar casinos along with web casinos. Keno is commonly played today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of betting the game and the simple reality that there are little skills required to play Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of winning are horrible, there is constantly the chance that you could hit quite big with a tiny gambling investment.

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

Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that taxed off track betting, casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
