Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick fix for the economic adversity and to create money for his military. He therefore developed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lottery 'Keno' was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who came to the States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is normally played with just 80 numbers in most of the US land based casinos along with net casinos. Keno is largely loved today as a result of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the simple fact that there are no expertise needed to enjoy Keno. Despite the reality that the odds of coming away with a win are appalling, there is constantly the chance that you could win quite large with little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are picked each round. Gamblers of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos weren't covered under the laws of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the 'Chinese lottery' to 'horse race keno' employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos quickly changed the name to 'Keno'.
