Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a monetary resource for his failing army. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time appeared to be facing national shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast fix for the financial disaster and to produce money for his army. He therefore created the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who migrated to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.

Keno is played with eighty numbers with twenty numbers drawn each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can select from two 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 popularity in the US near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track betting, Nevada casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
