Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the financial adversity and to create money for his army. He, as it follows designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser towns. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States to work. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno is mainly loved today as a result of the relaxed nature of playing the game and the simple reality that there are no expertise needed to play Keno. Regardless of the fact that the odds of winning are horrible, there is always the chance that you could win quite big with very little gambling investment.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place.
