Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of war time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a rapid response for the economic calamity and to create revenue for his army. He thusly invented the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lottery 'Keno' was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the United States to work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with just 80 numbers in a majority of American brick and mortar casinos along with net casinos. Keno is commonly enjoyed today as a result of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple fact that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the reality that the odds of winning are horrible, there is always the chance that you could win quite big with very little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each game. Players of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the 'Chinese lottery' to 'horse race keno' utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track wagering, Nevada casinos swiftly changed the name to 'Keno'.
