Keno was first played in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who utilized this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a country wide famine with the excessive drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick fix for the financial adversity and to produce money for his forces. He thusly developed the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be referred to as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser towns.
