Keno was introduced in 200 BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a monetary resource for his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time appeared to be facing national shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a fast fix for the financial adversity and to create income for his forces. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who came to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Regardless of the reality that the chances of coming away with a win are terrible, there is constantly the chance that you might hit quite large with little gambling investment.
Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers with twenty numbers drawn each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in acceptance in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
