Keno is run by the Delaware Lottery and has been offered in the state since 2013. It is a rapid-draw keno game available at licensed retailers across Delaware: bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and other lottery agents that hold a keno license.
Draws run every 4 minutes from 6:04 AM to 1:04 AM Eastern, seven days a week. Players pick between 1 and 10 numbers (spots) from the field of 1–80, and 20 numbers are drawn each game. You can play the same numbers for multiple consecutive draws on one ticket.
Pick 1–10 numbers from 1–80 and choose your wager (from $1 to $20 per game). A new draw happens every 4 minutes, with 20 numbers drawn from 80. You win based on how many of your numbers match, according to the paytable for your spot count. Add the Keno Bonus to multiply any win by 1x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x.
The Keno Bonus is an optional add-on that doubles your wager and applies a randomly drawn multiplier to any prize you win. A separate multiplier value is drawn for each game:
You can play Keno at any licensed Delaware Lottery retailer displaying keno signage. This includes:
You must be 18 or older to play.

Like other state lottery keno games, Delaware Keno keeps a sizeable share of every dollar wagered. State lottery keno typically returns about 65% to 75% to players (a house edge of roughly 25% to 35%), depending on the spot count and whether you add the Keno Bonus. Treat keno as entertainment spending rather than an investment.
The 9 and 10-spot games have eye-catching top prizes, but the odds of hitting all your numbers get dramatically longer with each extra spot. Lower spot counts (4, 5, 6) win more often, just for smaller amounts. Pick the spot count that matches how you like to play, not just the biggest prize.
The 4-minute draw cycle makes it easy to play far more games than intended. Decide how much you're willing to spend before you buy your first ticket, and stop when you hit it.
The Bonus doubles your cost for an average boost of roughly 2x, so it about pays for itself on average while adding variance. The most common multiplier is 1x, so a Bonus draw does not always increase your win. If you want a shot at a much bigger payout, it can be worth it.
4-spot and 5-spot games hit more often than 8, 9, or 10-spot games. For a longer session without burning through your budget, fewer spots is the steadier play.
