Since that time, merchants, peasants, and emperors have played it for more than 2,000 years. The name of the old game was “kino,” and according to legend, an emperor used it to help finance the building of the Great Wall of China. Chinese laborers who came to the United States to work on railroads in the 1800s introduced the game in the American West, where keno parlors quickly became the rage.

(However, most cruise ship casinos and some smaller casinos don’t have keno.) In fact, keno runners — whose job is to zip through¬out the casino gathering bets — make betting at keno while you’re playing the slots or having a drink at the bar possible. Keno is a “need-not-be-present-to-win” game. So whether you choose to play in the comfy keno lounge, where cocktail servers are at your beck and call offering free drinks, or you flag down a keno runner while eating breakfast, you’re bound to find a keno game within easy reach.
