Cheung Leung needed to create a fast response for the economic disaster and to create money for his army. He, as it follows designed the game we know today as keno and it was a great success.

Keno once was known as the White Pigeon Game, seeing as the winning numbers were sent out by pigeons from larger municipalities to the smaller villages.
