Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the economic disaster and to produce revenue for his military. He, as it follows developed the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger cities to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was imported to America in the 19th century by Chinese expatriates who headed to the United States to jobs. In those times, Keno was played with one hundred and twenty numbers.

Keno has grown in popularity in the United States since the close of the 1800’s when the Chinese letters were changed with more familiar, American numbers. Lotteries weren’t covered under the legalization of gambling in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos altered the name of the ‘Chinese lotto’ to ‘horse race keno’ utilizing the idea that the numbers are horses and you are looking for your horses to place. When a law passed that levied a tax on off track wagering, the casinos quickly altered the name to ‘Keno’.
