Cheung Leung had to come up with a fast response for the economic adversity and to produce money for his forces. He thusly developed the game we know today 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 sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller towns.
