Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a financial resource for his failing army. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after some time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a quick response for the economic disaster and to produce money for his military. He thusly invented the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can pick from two to 10 numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is dependent on the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in.
