In the late 1800, keno was brought to the USA by Chinese immigrants, so basically keno is originally from China.
In China it was played with eighty Chinese numbers, but in the USA they changed it to Arabic numbers. The game was also named as "racehorse keno" because each number was attached to a raise horse name.
In the 50's the horses names changed, that was just after a tax law required taxes on horse betting's.
Today some casino's still uses race horsing terms to play the game, for example to play keno, they will call it "race", and a "multirace" if you bet on more than one game.
