Kenoland
If you’re partial to playing a few rounds of keno every time you’re down at the local pub or club, you may be excited to learn that Lottoland has just launched a brand new product, Keno 24/7, which allows Aussie punters to play keno online at any hour of the day. New keno games are running every four minutes, giving users the chance to win anywhere from $3 to $4 million, all from the comfort of home.
A crazy and fun game of keno! Choose up to 15 numbers at Kenoland. The smoking caterpillar blows smoke rings that fall on the numbers.
- Fun and easy – Kenoland has a draw every 4 minutes. Pick your numbers and wait to see how many you match in the Keno draw. There are 80 numbers available, from which 20 will be drawn. There's also a Heads or Tails ticket where you can double or quadruple your money!
- Kenoland is a new and exciting way to bet on Keno. Added features such as live draws and Heads/Tails make betting on Keno extremely fun and convenient! Plus you have the chance to win $10 million every FOUR minutes! Just like our Keno 24/7 there are 80 numbers available, from which 20 numbers will be.
Lottoland’s Keno 24/7 is incredibly flexible, allowing players to play from as little as $1.00 per game. You can bet on anywhere up to 10 numbers in each draw, and with 37 ways to win in each game it is entirely up to you how much you want to bet to determine how much you stand to win.
Here’s how to play:
- Head to Lottoland.com.au and sign up for an account.
- Click on the Keno 24/7 game category.
- Use the grid to pick your numbers. You can choose anywhere between one and 10 numbers – the more you choose, the more you stand to win.
- Select how many draws you wish to bet on. Participating in more draws means a higher chance of winning, but it also means you’ll be laying down more money as a wager is required for each game you play.
- Choose your stake – it can be anywhere between x1 and x10. All winnings are multiplied by the value of your stake, so the more you wager the more your potential profit.
As you make your selections, a pay table will come up letting you know exactly how many numbers you need to match to claim a win. Once your selections are in place, hit the submit button to make your bet official and follow the prompts to enter your payment details and check out. You can make payments at Lottoland using a variety of trusted payment methods, including Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, POLi, BPay and Paysafecard.
Like Lottoland’s lottery services, players are actually betting on the outcome of a keno draw rather than participating in the official keno game itself, but the same value prizes are up for grabs and games are slightly more affordable. You can read more about how Lottoland works here.

Overview: Keno is one of the oldest games still played in modern casinos and bingo halls. It is also a game that has undergone the least change over the years. The basic idea of Keno is to select numbers from a pool of 80. Once you start the game, 20 numbers will be randomly selected as the winning numbers. You prize will be based on how many matching numbers you have selected.
Strategy: There really is no strategy to picking your Keno numbers. Some will say that you should play the so-called 'hot numbers' - those that have come up a lot in recent draws. Others say just the opposite - that you should play so-called 'cold numbers'. I like to pick my own personal lucky numbers - the month, day, and two-digit year of my birth, plus my age.
Payouts: If you play Keno, play at a place that offers you the best payout for the number of numbers that you normally play. The good news is that many online keno games at online casinos and online bingo halls pay off at a much higher percentage than at land-cased casinos and bingo halls (which is about 80% at live keno games, and about 92% at video keno games). What this means is that, in general, the money that you put aside to play keno will last longer (in terms of the number of bets that you are able to make, not in terms of time) when playing online than it will when you are playing nearly any land-based keno game.
Payout Comparison: I've spent several hours computing the payout percentages for Keno games offered by the most popular online casino and bingo software vendors. The keno payout percentages by game and number of spots played are in the table below.
Overall, casinos that run VueTec software offer the best keno payout, with an overall payout percentage of 96.22%. The payout percentages for 2-spot through 9-spot are the best available, while their payout got 10-spot is second best. However, VueTec casinos do not offer 1-spot tickets nor anything higher than a 10-spot ticket, so your choices are somewhat limited. Here is the complete VueTec paytable.
The keno games at online bingo halls that run Parlay software are a good choice as well. Their Classic Keno game has an overall payout of 94.20%, while their Kenoland game has an overall payout percentage of 94.00%. Between these two versions of keno, the payout percentages for 1-spot, 2-spot, and 11-spot through 15-spot are the best available, while their 3-spot through 6-spot and 8-spot games are second best. Here are the complete Parlay paytables for their Classic Keno and their Kenoland games.
The best online keno game is the 10-spot from online casinos that run B3W software, with a payout percentage of 98.72%. If you only play 10-spot keno, then go with their keno game. Here is the complete B3W paytable.

by utilizing the no-deposit offers that can be found at most of the sites linked from this page. - The keno games from Parlay, Top Game, Microgaming (MGS), Rival, BetOnSoft (BOS), and VueTec are all better than average; each has an overall payout equal to or greater than about what you will find at a video keno machine in a land-based casino. (Click the previous links to view all online sites that run that software.)
- The keno games from Party Gaming, 888, CGTV, and B3W are acceptable in terms of their payout percentage, but just barely.
- Keno should not be played at online sites that run software from RTG, Grand Virtual, Bingo Entertainment Network, Wagerlogic, or Boss.
