How Keno Works
You select 1-15 numbers from 1-80. The game draws 20 random numbers. You win based on how many of your numbers match the drawn numbers. Games happen every 4 minutes.
Payouts
Payouts vary by how many numbers you pick and how many match. Picking 10 numbers and matching 7+ pays well. Picking just 2-3 numbers has lower payouts. Casinos set payout tables so house edge is usually 25-40%.
