Keno was introduced in 200 before Christ by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who used this game as a finance resource for his failing army. The metropolis of Cheung was at war, and after awhile of war time seemed to be looking at a national famine with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick response for the financial disaster and to produce money for his military. He therefore designed the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the tinier towns. The lotto ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who migrated to the United States for jobs. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
