Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his declining army.

Keno is enjoyed with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are drawn each game. Gamblers of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the roll out of matching numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the US near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in 1931.
