Keno’s History
Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing forces.

Cheung Leung needed to come up with a fast response for the financial calamity and to acquire money for his forces. He thusly designed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger locations to the smaller towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with , US numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in.
