Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the economic disaster and to create income for his forces. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the US for work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Regardless of the fact that the odds of winning are appalling, there is always the chance that you could hit quite large with little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are picked each game. Players of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
