a lottery-style gambling game in which players select numbers from a predetermined range, and winning numbers are drawn randomly to determine the winners
Keno is a lottery-style game often played in casinos. Players select a set of numbers, usually between 1 and 80, and then wait for a drawing where 20 numbers are randomly selected. The goal is to match as many of the drawn numbers as possible with the ones selected by the player. The more numbers that match, the higher the payout. Keno is a game of chance, similar to a lottery, and can be played quickly, with new rounds starting regularly. Players can choose how many numbers to pick, and the payouts vary based on how many numbers are chosen and how many match.
