Keno was created in two hundred BC by the Chinese army leader, Cheung Leung who used this game as a way to finance his declining forces. The city of Cheung was waging a battle, and after a bit of war time appeared to be facing national shortage of food with the excessive decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung had to come up with a rapid response for the economic adversity and to produce revenue for his military. He therefore invented the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the smaller towns.
