Keno once was referred to as the White Pigeon Game, because the winning numbers were delivered by pigeons from larger municipalities to the lesser villages. The lottery ‘Keno’ was brought to America in the 19th century by Chinese newcomers who headed to the States for work. In those times, Keno used one hundred and twenty numbers.
