Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a financial resource for his declining forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after some time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a fast response for the economic adversity and to produce money for his army. He thusly created the game we know today as keno and it was a wonderful success.
