Keno was created in 200 before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used keno as a monetary resource for his declining army. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid fix for the economic disaster and to acquire money for his army. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese characters were changed with , US numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place.
