Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a finance resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the financial adversity and to create income for his army. He, as it follows created the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno once was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can pick from two to ten numbers and gamble on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The payout of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931.
