Cheung Leung needed to come up with a rapid response for the financial calamity and to create revenue for his forces. He, as it follows created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was well-known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger locations to the tinier villages.

Keno grew in popularity in the United States near the close of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were changed with more familiar, US numbers. Lotteries were not covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in Nineteen Thirty One. The casinos changed the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the notion that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to come in.
