Keno was created in 200 BC by the Chinese military leader, Cheung Leung who used keno as a way to finance his failing forces.

Cheung Leung had to develop a fast response for the financial calamity and to create revenue for his forces. He, as it follows designed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger locations to the lesser towns.
