Keno was first played in 200 BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of war time appeared to be looking at a national famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to create a rapid response for the economic disaster and to produce money for his forces. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser towns.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place.
