The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time seemed to be facing national famine with the dramatic drop in supplies. Cheung Leung had to develop a quick fix for the economic calamity and to acquire money for his military. He, as it follows created the game we now know as keno and it was a wonderful success.
Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the US in the 1800s by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the States for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese letters were replaced with , American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in Nineteen Thirty One.
