Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast fix for the financial disaster and to create revenue for his army. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the lesser villages. The lottery 'Keno' was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Today, Keno is generally wagered on with 80 numbers in most of American based casinos along with online casinos. Keno is commonly played today because of the laid back nature of gambling the game and the basic reality that there are no skills required to play Keno. Despite the fact that the odds of winning are horrible, there is always the hope that you could hit quite large with little gambling investment.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the roll out of matching numbers.

Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the end of the 1800's when the Chinese letters were replaced with , US numbers. Lotteries weren't covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the 'Chinese lotto' to 'horse race keno' utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to 'Keno'.
