Triple Power Keno is a unique variation of keno that I discovered on a multi-game machine at the Red Rock casino on January 26, 2012. It operates similarly to traditional keno; however, if the last ball drawn happens to match one of the player's selections, they receive three additional balls and all winnings are multiplied by three.
