Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing national shortage of food with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid response for the financial calamity and to produce money for his army. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in 1931.
