Keno. It\u2019s a gambling staple that many locals and visitors enjoy. It combines numbers and chance into a potentially lucrative pastime. Discover how and where to play Keno in Downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Keno?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keno is a gambling game similar to lottery or bingo<\/a> that is typically played in casinos. It is a game of chance that is based on drawing numbers that have to correspond to numbers on a card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players choose numbers from 1 to 80 and then 20 numbers are drawn at random. If enough numbers drawn match the numbers that players selected on their card, then the player wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Does Keno Come from?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The origins of Keno can be traced back to China where legend says the game saved an ancient city during a time of war. It is also said that the funds raised from Keno helped to build The Great Wall of China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the word keno has Latin roots meaning \u201cfive\u201d or \u201cfive winning numbers.\u201d The game was brought over to America by Chinese immigrants in the 1800s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
