Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a fast fix for the economic disaster and to acquire revenue for his military. He thusly created the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the lesser towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants who came to the US to jobs. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place.
