After you have submitted your choices, twenty numbered balls will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously amass more, if more of your spots appear, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy tickets between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot winnings of up to 50,000 dollars are not uncommon.
