Keno was introduced in two hundred BC by the Chinese army commander, Cheung Leung who utilized keno as a finance resource for his declining army.

Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the financial adversity and to create money for his military. He therefore created the game we now know as keno and it was a great success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from bigger municipalities to the lesser towns.
