Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a finance resource for his declining forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick fix for the financial adversity and to acquire income for his forces. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the United States in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno is commonly enjoyed today as a consequence of the relaxed nature of gambling the game and the basic fact that there are no skills required to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of succeeding are appalling, there is always the chance that you could hit quite large with little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can select from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, the casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
