Keno is a lottery-style draw. You select up to ten numbers on a grid of forty, the game draws ten, and you are paid according to how many of your picks appear in the draw. The more numbers you select, the more matches you need to see a return.

Like Plinko it offers low, medium, high and classic risk modes, which reshape the payout table without altering the underlying edge.

How it works

1

Select your numbers

Up to ten, or use the auto-pick button.

2

Choose a risk level

This changes how the payouts are distributed across match counts.

3

Watch the draw

Ten numbers are revealed and matches are paid per the table.

📉 Strategy — the honest version

Which specific numbers you choose is irrelevant — every combination has identical odds, so "lucky numbers" and "hot numbers" are decoration. The only decisions that change your experience are how many numbers you pick and which risk mode you use, and both adjust variance rather than expected return. The published edge is 1%, the same as the other Originals.

Common questions

Do some numbers come up more often?
No. Each draw is independent and uniformly random from the seed pair. Historical frequency tells you nothing about the next draw.
Should I pick more or fewer numbers?
Fewer numbers means more frequent small wins; more numbers means rarer but larger ones. The expected return does not change.
Is Keno better than the lottery?
The house edge is dramatically lower — 1% here versus typically 40-50% for state lotteries. It is still a negative expectation game.
