Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a monetary resource for his failing army. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after some time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the financial disaster and to create revenue for his military. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who migrated to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno is played with 80 numbers with twenty numbers picked each round. Gamblers of Keno can pick from 2 to 10 numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in.
