Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid response for the financial adversity and to produce revenue for his army. He thusly developed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

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

Today, Keno is regularly bet on with just 80 numbers in almost all of the US land based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is mainly loved today because of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple reality that there are no expertise required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the reality that the chances of getting a win are horrible, there is always the chance that you might hit quite large with a tiny gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from two to 10 numbers and bet 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 has grown in popularity in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track betting, the casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
