Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be facing national shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast fix for the economic adversity and to create money for his forces. He, as it follows invented the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who headed to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Keno is mainly loved today because of the laid back nature of wagering the game and the basic fact that there are little expertise required to enjoy Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of coming away with a win are appalling, there is always the possibility that you could win quite big with little gaming investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with 20 numbers picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from 2 to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of 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 wagering, Nevada casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
