Short Answer: Keno is a lottery-style game where you choose between 1 and 10 numbers from a pool of 80. The casino then draws 20 numbers, and you are paid based on how many 'catches' (matches) you made.

1. The Risk-Reward Scale

In Keno, the more numbers you pick, the higher the potential payout but the lower your statistical chance of hitting all of them. For example, hitting 5 out of 5 numbers might pay 50:1, but hitting 10 out of 10 could pay 10,000:1.

2. RNG vs. Ball Machine

Online Keno in SA uses a Random Number Generator (RNG) to ensure every draw is fair and unpredictable. Unlike the national lotto which happens twice a week, online Keno draws happen every few seconds, making it a high-speed game.
