Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a monetary resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time appeared to be facing country wide shortage of food with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a quick response for the financial calamity and to acquire income for his military. He thusly designed the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic 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 larger locations to the lesser villages. The lottery 'Keno' was imported to America in the 1800s by Chinese migrants who came to the US for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Keno is played with 80 numbers and twenty numbers are selected each round. Gamblers of Keno can pick from 2 to ten numbers and wager on them, whatever amount they want to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.

Keno grew in universal appeal in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren't covered under the legalization of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the 'Chinese lottery' to 'horse race keno' utilizing the concept that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place.
