Keno was first played in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be facing national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a quick fix for the financial adversity and to acquire income for his forces. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is generally wagered on with 80 numbers in most of American based casinos along with net casinos.

Despite the reality that the odds of getting a win are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you might win quite large with very little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers picked each game. Players of Keno can choose from 2 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 end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
