Cheung Leung needed to develop a fast response for the economic adversity and to acquire money for his military. He, as it follows invented the game we know today as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, since the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger cities to the tinier villages.
