Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, US numbers. Lottos were not covered under the legalization of wagering in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to place.
