Cheung Leung had to create a rapid response for the economic disaster and to create income for his forces. He, as it follows created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno used to be known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were broadcast by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier towns.

Keno has grown in popularity in the US since the end of the 19th century when the Chinese characters were replaced with more familiar, American numbers. Lottos weren’t covered under the legalization of gaming in Nevada State in 1931. The casinos adjusted the name of the ‘Chinese lottery’ to ‘horse race keno’ employing the concept that the numbers are horses and you want your horses to come in. When the Nevada government passed a law that taxed off track betting, casinos swiftly changed the name to ‘Keno’.
