Power keno is broadly similar to classic keno, albeit with a key variant that shall be revealed later in this overview. For the uninitiated, keno was developed in 7th century China and then it was brought to America in the 19th century by immigrants. Having survived the test of time, power keno is one of several variants that can be found among casino sites online.

Compared to classic keno, power keno is also played by drawing 20 random numbers from 1 to 80. In most versions, the player will be given the option of wagering to select from two to 10 numbers on their ticket. However, please consult the version that you play in order to confirm exactly how many numbers can be selected for the ticket.

Matching Numbers for Payouts

While a ticket with two numbers selected can receive a payout for matching two numbers, this is not the case for selecting up to 10 numbers. Quite simply, this is because a ticket with more numbers is designed to offer higher payouts because there is a greater difficulty. Mathematically, it would be simpler to match two numbers from ten selections than it would be to match two from two.

In power keno, the online game is designed to provide on-screen information that explains how many numbers the player has selected. Furthermore, the information will explain the possible cash rewards that can be paid out based on the number of matches that are made. For example, a player with ten picks would need to match four or more numbers for a payout.

With power keno, the appeal resides in the bonus multipliers that can be applied when select outcomes occur. The first is the prospect of a 4x multiplier in exchange for matching the first ball that is drawn. And the second can also provide a 4x multiplier, though only when the player matches the 20th and final that is drawn.
