No multiplier built into these prizes
Every amount on this page is what Kansas Keno pays on a straight $1 play, with nothing added on. Kansas has no prize multiplier at all. Its only add-on is Bull's-Eye, which doubles your wager and pays from its own prize table, and the 6, 7 and 8 spot games also carry progressive jackpots.
Wager Amounts and How Prizes Scale
Every prize on this page is quoted per $1 played. Kansas Keno accepts wagers of $1 to $5 per game, and prizes scale straight up with the amount you bet: a $2 play pays double the amounts shown, a $5 play pays five times, and so on. That means the $100,000 top prize on a $1 10 spot play is worth $500,000 on a $5 play.

Kansas Keno falls short of the typical top prize on 7 of the 10 comparable spot counts and never beats it, which puts it on the tighter side of the games we track. Top prizes are only half the picture, though. Weighing every prize by its chance of landing, a $1 Kansas Keno ticket returns about 52.1% averaged across all spot counts, well behind the 62.7% typical for the comparison group. Either way the paytable is fixed, so no pick pattern and no spot count turns keno into a positive bet.
