Keno was created in two hundred before Christ by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his failing forces. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after a bit of time seemed to be looking at a national shortage of food with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to create a rapid response for the financial disaster and to produce money for his forces. He therefore developed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger cities to the smaller villages.
