Keno was first played in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a rapid response for the financial calamity and to create money for his military. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger cities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and 20 numbers are selected each game. Players of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, whatever amount 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 end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track gambling, Nevada casinos swiftly adjusted the name to ‘Keno’.
