Once you have submitted your choices, twenty balls with numbers will "drop" into a capsule from a barrel. If enough of your numbers are selected, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers hit, like with lottos.
Most online keno games allow you to purchase cards between 5c and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot fortunes of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
