Cheung Leung had to create a rapid fix for the financial disaster and to produce money for his forces. He, as it follows created the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser villages.

Keno has grown in universal appeal in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the laws of gambling in the state of Nevada in 1931. The casinos renamed the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When a law passed that taxed off track gambling, casinos quickly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
