Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese military 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 seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast fix for the economic calamity and to acquire revenue for his army. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lottery 'Keno' was brought to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who came to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is regularly enjoyed with just 80 numbers in just about all of the US brick and mortar casinos as well as online casinos. Keno is commonly played today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the basic fact that there are no skills needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the chances of succeeding are horrible, there is constantly the hope that you will win quite big with very little gaming investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and 20 numbers are picked each game. Gamblers of Keno can choose from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the 'Chinese lottery' to 'horse race keno' employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that levied a tax on off track betting, casinos swiftly adjusted the name to 'Keno'.
