Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a finance resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of war time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a quick fix for the financial disaster and to create income for his army. He therefore designed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who headed to the United States for work. In those times, Keno used 120 numbers.

Today, Keno is typically bet on with 80 numbers in almost all of the US based casinos as well as online casinos.
