The city of Cheung was waging a war, and after some time seemed to be facing country wide famine with the dramatic decrease in supplies. Cheung Leung needed to develop a quick response for the economic adversity and to acquire income for his army. He therefore invented the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.

Keno used to be well-known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from bigger cities to the tinier villages.
