Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his declining army. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of war time seemed to be facing national famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast response for the economic calamity and to acquire revenue for his forces. He therefore created the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who came to the United States to work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in.
