Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a financial resource for his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be looking at a country wide famine with the drastic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid response for the financial calamity and to produce revenue for his army. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno once was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier towns.

Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in.
