Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a quick fix for the financial disaster and to acquire income 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 delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the lesser villages. The lottery 'Keno' was brought to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is typically enjoyed with 80 numbers in almost all of American land based casinos along with internet casinos. Keno is mainly loved today as a consequence of the laid back nature of betting the game and the simple fact that there are little skills required to enjoy Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of winning are horrible, there is constantly the chance that you could win quite large with very little gambling investment.

Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each round. Players of Keno can select from 2 to 10 numbers and bet 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 universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos weren't covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the 'Chinese lotto' to 'horse race keno' utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track wagering, the casinos swiftly changed the name to 'Keno'.
