Keno was introduced in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his declining army. The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a rapid fix for the financial disaster and to produce money for his military. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno grew in popularity in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with , American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One.
