Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick response for the financial adversity and to acquire money for his military. He thusly developed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno is enjoyed with 80 numbers with twenty numbers drawn each round. Enthusiasts of Keno can pick from 2 to ten numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the bets made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in.
