Cheung Leung needed to create a fast response for the financial adversity and to create money for his military. He, as it follows invented the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno is played with eighty numbers and twenty numbers are selected each game. Enthusiasts of Keno can choose from two to ten numbers and bet on them, as much or as little as they are able to. The pay out of Keno is according to the wagers made and the matching of numbers.
Keno has grown in acceptance in the US since the end of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos were not covered under the laws of wagering in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One.
