Keno Rules & Terms |
Keno is a lottery-type game in which you pick numbers, as you would on a lottery card, and then the keno machine draws the winning numbers. If your numbers match the keno machine's winning keno numbers, you can win money at keno.

Keno differs from the lottery, however, in that it offers much more flexibility. This is also what makes keno more interesting. In most lotteries, you must pick 6 numbers; in keno, you may choose to pick anywhere from 1 to 15 numbers. Also, the keno card gives you 80 numbers to pick from, far more than most lotteries.
Online keno is very simple to play. To play keno online, you first need to choose the size of the bet you want to play make. You do this by clicking on either the Increase (+) or Decrease (-) button at the bottom of your screen. Once you have chosen your bet, it's time to pick your favorite numbers.
You select your lucky keno numbers by left clicking the numbers that you want to play on the keno card. Remember that you can pick up to 15 numbers. When you left click the numbers, you will see that they become highlighted. These are your "Spots." If you make a mistake or decide that you want to switch numbers, you just need to left click the number again to unselect it.
Now comes the fun part. Click the Play button, and 20 numbered keno balls will come flying out of the keno number machine. The winning keno numbers will change color on the board, and those that match your picks will change to a different color. At the same time, the payout table on the left side of your screen will light up to show you what you've won.
Like the keno game itself, keno terminology is very simple. There are really only a few keno terms you need to know:
| You win at keno when you hit enough of your spots. Whether you win, and how much you win, depends on two factors: how many spots you selected, and how many of them hit. If you selected only one spot, and that number hits, you win 3 times the amount of your bet.
If you selected six numbers, and two of them hit, you get your bet back and break even. If four of your numbers hit, you win 3 times the amount of your bet. If all six numbers hit, you win 75 times the amount of your bet. |

The biggest win at keno comes if you select fifteen spots and they all hit. This will win you the keno jackpot of 10,000 times the amount of your bet.
The illustration above depicts a typical online keno game. In this illustration, the player picked fifteen spots. The numbers selected by the player turn light blue on the keno ticket and, on the right side of the screen, the keno machine tells you "Spots Selected: 15."
As the keno balls come flying out and land on the keno ticket, the winning keno numbers turn green, and your successful hits turn red. In the illustration, you can see that the player had hits on the red numbers 9, 10, 11, 28, 47, 59, and 76.
On the left side of the screen appears the payout table. There is a different payout table for each number of spots selected. The illustration shows the payout table for a 15-spot keno game. After the winning numbers are drawn, the actual result is highlighted in red on the payout table. In the illustration, you can see from the red highlight that our lucky online keno player had 7 hits for a payout of 5 times his bet.
Since online keno is so simple, it is a perfect game for beginning players or for those who just want to relax with an easy online gambling game. Playing keno online can provide great entertainment for anyone looking for basic fun without a lot of complicated rules and betting strategies. All you have to do is pick your lucky keno numbers and click Play. Like a lottery, keno is simple and quick and fun to play and even more fun to win.
