Chinese are the inventors of Keno as well of many other things. The main purpose, with which was created the game, was that the Chinese wanted to safe their city and also to earn some money. In the basics of the creation of Keno is the funding of the army and the building of the Great Wall. Cheung Leung was the person sitting behind these actions, because the people did not want to give money for the army any more. By this way, the army was not supplied and the city was in danger. Keno helped him to raise money for it. They used pigeons to announce the result of keno between the great cities and the small villages.

Chinese characters were used in the ancient variation of Keno. Later, when the game arrived in America, brought by the Chinese, which worked in the building of the railroads, the characters were changed with the Arabic numbers, because it was difficult to the Americans to understand them. Although, all the difficult way it has passed, the Keno is one of the most popular games in the present casinos.
