Blitz Keno

Introduction

Blitz Keno is similar to regular keno but includes additional side bets based on the total value of the 20 balls drawn.

Rules

  1. This game also uses a set of 80 balls, each numbered from 1 to 80, just like traditional keno.
  2. Once a player places their bet, 20 balls are drawn randomly and without replacement.
  3. Players have two options: they can either bet on particular numbers being drawn or wager on the sum of the drawn balls.
  4. Similar to traditional keno, if a player opts to bet on individual balls, they can select between 2 and 10 numbers, earning rewards based on how many of their choices match the drawn numbers, according to the pay table provided below.
  5. There are different betting options concerning the total of all balls drawn. Wins are calculated on a 'for one' basis. A total of 'small' is described as below 810, while 'big' exceeds 810.
  • Small — Pays 1.95
  • Big — Pays 1.95
  • Exactly 810 — Pays 108
  • Odd — Pays 1.95
  • Even — Pays 1.95
  • Small and odd — Pays 3.7
