Keno, a bingo-like or a lottery-like gambling game, is played nowadays at practically every casino. Keno appeared in China in 187 BC. But the appearance of keno is wrapped in a mystery. There can be found several different opinions. The most commonly taken opinion is that Cheung Leung invented this game when his army ran out of money during some war. The city residents didn't want to give their money to support the unworthy aim of the emperor. Cheung had nothing else to do but to develop some new way of taking money out of the people. Finally, Cheung had the brilliant idea of creating a game that would appeal to the huge numbers of people under his command, while simultaneously generating a bit of cash to cover his expenses. Thus Cheung's army was saved. It also contributed resources to building the Great Wall! Keno was later given a different name - the White Pigeon game. That was not for nothing: carrier pigeons informed the surrounding towns and villages of the winning numbers. The keno boards of the past consisted of the Chinese characters but not of the numbers. The total of 120 characters was used in the game but the number reduced to 80 in the long run. Keno appeared in the US in the 19th century as a lot of Chinese people came there to work on the railroads. Though the game was considered illegal, the new Chinese immigrants still played it. It continued to use Chinese characters and thus obviously didn't enter popular mainstream American culture until it was modified to include the numerical system.
