Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after awhile of war time appeared to be facing national famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a rapid fix for the economic disaster and to produce money for his army. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger locations to the smaller towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who migrated to the States for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers picked each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in.
