Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese military commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a finance resource for his failing forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be facing national famine with the drastic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a quick response for the economic adversity and to acquire income for his military. He thusly invented the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger locations to the lesser villages. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to the US in the 1800s by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States to work. In those times, Keno was played with 120 numbers.
