Intro to KENO
A game of Keno is known to be called a “Keno Race” and is very similar to Lotto247 - you know, pick your number and you win based on how right your guesses are.
It requires no skill to play, no difficult rules to follow, or strategies to be aware of - just luck. If you’re someone, like me, who doesn't exactly want to have to think and just wants to relax - you know, letting lady luck decide your fate; this game will feel like it has been made just for you.
What Is KENO In Lotto247?
In a nutshell, Lotto 247’s KENO is akin to lottery only that you get to:
1) Choose a set of numbers from 1 to 80, instead of the typical 1 to 60 or 70.
2) The set of numbers can go up to 12 numbers - depending on the KENO game you wish to place a bet on.
3) You get to win based on the number of hits or correct guesses you have on your ticket. The more correct guesses or "catches" you have, so does your winnings grow accordingly.
4) You win the jackpot when all your guesses turn out to be correct - and that all of them are on your ticket.
5) Win frequently. Keno draws every 3-5 minutes, or even 2 minutes. Overall, it beats waiting days or weeks for a draw.
Your chances of winning are frequent with very little technicalities - almost no brainer.
Rules of KENO
Traditionally, Keno is played in Casino lounges that are specifically made for the game - called “Keno runners”. They’ll collect the tickets and send out winnings if the player desires to participate while away from the lounge.
There’s the video version of Keno which looks like a slot coin-operated machine. It follows the same rules as with the keno that is played in the lounge.
So, what are the rules? Good question.
The rules are simple. Select a set of numbers from 1 to 80. You win based on how right you are - or at least, your guesses.
Kinds Of KENO
There are 4 different KENO games you can participate in within Lotto247’s online platform - these are KENO 9, KENO 10, KENO 11, and KENO 12.
The numbers after their names indicate the amount of numbers that will have to be included in your ticket to start playing. Keno 9 will ask you 9 numbers; keno 10, 10 numbers; and so on, and so forth.
Confusing? Here’s another way to put it.
KENO 9 will have you choose 9 numbers.
KENO 10, 10 numbers.
KENO 11, 11 numbers.
KENO 12, 12 numbers.
If all your guesses turn out to be correct, you win the jackpot - and even if
Odds at Winning KENO
Like all games of chances, it only takes one winning ticket to change your life - one, not 2. That being said, I think it is right and proper for me to present your odds at getting that one ticket to be extra wealthy by playing KENO.

Jackpot Prize of Keno
If you look at the odds of winning, and the frequency of the draws, it might make sense that the jackpot prize isn't international lottery level. While admittedly the prize isn’t as lucrative as, say, with a lottery. The beauty of Keno lies more in the amount of times you can enter a game and win. That being said, here’s the jackpot prizes of Keno 9, Keno 10, Keno 11, and Keno 12.
| JACKPOT PRIZE | |
|---|---|
| GAME | PRIZE |
| KENO 9 | €5,000 (433,058.82 Indian Rupee) |
| KENO 10 | €10,000 (866,120.00 Indian Rupee) |
| KENO 11 | €25,000 (2,165,660.94 Indian Rupee) |
| KENO 12 | €50,000 (4,331,650.00 Indian Rupee) |
