Beginner’s Guide to Mobile Keno

 What Is Mobile Keno?

At its heart, keno is a simple lottery-style numbers game: you pick numbers, the game draws numbers, and you win depending on how many of your numbers match those drawn.

On mobile, keno is presented in two main formats:

·     RNG Keno (Random Number Generator): The most common version. You choose your numbers, the software randomly selects 20 numbers out of 80, and you’re paid based on your matches.

·     Live Dealer Keno: Streamed in HD from a real studio, complete with a ball machine and a game host. You select your numbers on-screen, and then watch them drawn live.

Mobile Optimisation

Keno is particularly well-suited for mobile play because it’s visual and simple:

·     Tap to pick your numbers (1–80).

·     Quick Pick lets the app choose for you.

·     Auto-play options let you repeat your selections over multiple draws.

·     Portrait mode keeps it casual; landscape gives a fuller view of the board.

Casinos like William Hill Vegas, Genting, and Betway include mobile keno in their game suites, making it just a tap away.

Rules of Keno (Beginner-Friendly Recap)

The rules of keno couldn’t be easier:

1.    Pick Your Numbers: Choose between 1 and 20 numbers (called “spots”) from a board of 80.

2.    Place Your Bet: Decide how much you want to wager.

3.    Draw: The game randomly selects 20 numbers.

4.    Check for Matches: The more of your chosen numbers that match the drawn numbers, the higher your payout.

Example

·     You pick 10 numbers.

·     If 5 of them match the 20 drawn, you win according to the paytable.

·     If all 10 hit, the payout can be massive, sometimes thousands of times your stake.

Payouts

·     Fewer Spots: Safer, more frequent wins, but smaller payouts.

·     More Spots: Riskier, but potential for huge wins.

·     Jackpot Keno: Some versions add progressive jackpots for hitting all selected spots.

The beauty of keno is that no strategy or skill is required. It’s pure chance, like a digital lottery ticket.
