Cheung Leung had to develop a fast fix for the economic calamity and to acquire money for his forces. He, as it follows developed 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 delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to the USA in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who migrated to the US for jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the laws of gaming in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are wanting your horses to come in.
