Keno grew in popularity in the US near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in.
