Keno was first played in 200 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 excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a rapid response for the financial disaster and to produce money for his military. He, as it follows designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who migrated to the States to work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to place. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, the casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
