Keno’s History
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 army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a rapid response for the economic disaster and to produce income for his military. He thusly developed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who came to the US to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
Today, Keno is generally enjoyed with 80 numbers in almost all of American brick and mortar casinos along with web casinos.
