Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a financial resource for his declining army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid fix for the economic calamity and to create income for his forces. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. Gamblers of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and wager on them, as much or as little as they want to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in universal appeal in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of gambling in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place.
