Power Keno Introduction & Analysis

Power Keno follows the same rules as standard keno, except that all winnings are quadrupled if the player catches the 20th ball drawn. A similar game called FirePower exists, with the exception that in that game, wins are quadrupled if the first ball is caught rather than the last.

• The player selects two to ten numbers from one to eighty.
• The game will select 20 numbers at random from a range of 1 to 80.
• The player is paid based on how many of his picks match the game's numbers.
• Any win will be quadrupled if the first number drawn is a match.
