Cheung Leung needed to come up with a quick response for the economic disaster and to create income for his military. He thusly created the game we now know as keno and it was a fantastic success.
Keno was known as the White Pigeon Game, due to the fact that the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser villages.
