Keno has a very similar look and play to that of lottery games. The basic concept is that you try and predict the winning numbers as chosen by the Keno computer. The payout increases with the more keno numbers you accurately predict.

The player chooses between 1 and 15 keno numbers that they think is going to win out of 80. The cost of the selection is determined by the number of keno numbers chosen, however, this is reflected in the payout as the more winning numbers the greater the prize.

The keno number generator then picks 20 keno numbers at random. If your numbers match the randomly generated then you are a winner.

History of Keno

Invented in China over 2000 years ago as a way of raising funds for a war Keno is believed to have also been used to raise funds to build the Great Wall of China. Keno spread from China with immigrants looking for work in the west.

Originally designed with 120 Chinese characters it was altered for the western player and now uses 80 numbers.
