Keno rules and round flow
Keno lets you select numbers from a fixed field before a random set is drawn. The payout depends on how many selected numbers match and the active paytable.
Open the official Keno informationThe decisions the player controls
You choose the stake and how many numbers to mark. Selecting more numbers creates more possible hit combinations, but the paytable—not intuition—defines the value of each result.
Risk, house edge and provably fair results
Frequently drawn or personally meaningful numbers have no advantage. Every draw is independent, and the distribution of hits follows the game rules.
Keno verification should reproduce the drawn numbers for the completed round. Compare the generated set with the saved picks and then use the exact row of the active paytable to check the settlement.

Observed on 18 September 2026 without placing a bet: Classic risk with picks 1, 2 and 3 showed 0×, 1×, 3.10× and 10.40× for zero, one, two and three hits. For an illustrative 2-unit stake, two hits would return 6.20 units including the stake, a net gain of 4.20; one hit would return the stake. This is paytable arithmetic, not a recorded win or a prediction. Check the active table again after changing the pick count or risk mode.
