KENO Rules

The game of "Keno" was originated in China over 2000 years ago. Legend says that the invention of the game helped raise funds to build the Great Wall. Chinese immigrants introduced Keno to the West when they sailed across the Pacific to help build the American transcontinental railroad during the 19th century.

Keno is similar to the lotto game, and is looked for a match of five numbers to win. In order to play, players have to purchase a ticket, then they try to predict which numbers will be drawn by marking from 1 to 15 of the numbered blocks ("Spots") on the ticket.

Let's say you mark 7 numbers. If any 4 of those 7 numbers get hit, you are paid $5. If any 5 of those 7 numbers are hit, you win $20. and if any 6 of the numbers get hit, you get $250. If you are a lucky player and hit all 7 numbers, you win $2000!

The kind of bets you can find playing Keno are the following:

BET AGAINST
This option is enabled once you have marked at least 8 Spots on the ticket. With this option you are betting that none of the numbers you mark will be hit by any of the rocks thrown.

HIT ALL
To enable this option you must mark 2 to 7 Spots on the ticket. You are betting that all the numbers you mark will be hit.

HIGH ROLLER
In order to enable this bet, you have to mark at least one spot on the ticket. The Payout is greater.

TOP OR BOTTOM
Is the only option that is enabled before you mark the ticket. You only need to place your bet to be able to use this option.
