Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick fix for the financial adversity and to acquire money for his military. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who came to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with 80 numbers in most of American land based casinos along with web casinos. Keno is mainly liked today as a consequence of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the basic reality that there are no skills needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of winning are terrible, there is always the possibility that you might hit quite big with little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each round. Gamblers of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
