The game of keno, which has the features of Bingo and any lottery, is nowadays popular all over the world. The game itself was first developed in China in 187 BC by the head of state, Cheung Leung. Still the origins of the game are really a bit of a mystery. There can be found several different opinions.
According to one assumption the game was invented during a war in China in order to supply the army with money. The head of state had no money support of his subjects. So Cheung was left scratching his head as to how to generate the necessary finances to continue his brutal battles. At last he managed to create a very easy and effective means of getting money. That was the game of keno. The game was a success and it is cited as a major reason for the victory of Cheung's forces. It also contributed resources to building the Great Wall! The game soon became known as the White Pigeon game, since carrier pigeons were used to inform surrounding towns and villages of the winning numbers.
At first Chinese classic characters instead of numbers were printed on the keno boards. If at first the game included 120 characters, this number dropped to 80 in the course of time.
In the middle of the 19th keno was brought to the US. Though the game was considered illegal, the new Chinese immigrants still played it. It became popular among the Americans only when the Chinese characters were changed into numbers.
