Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a way to finance his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be facing national famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the financial disaster and to acquire revenue for his forces. He thusly created the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser towns.
