Kansas Keno is operated by the Kansas Lottery and follows the standard lottery keno format: pick 1–10 numbers from a field of 1–80, and 20 numbers are drawn every 4 minutes. Draws run from 4:00 AM to 3:00 AM Central, 23 hours a day, seven days a week. The game is available at licensed Kansas Lottery retailers throughout the state, including convenience stores, gas stations, and other licensed locations.
Like most state lottery keno games, Kansas Keno offers continuous play throughout the day with frequent draws, giving players multiple opportunities to play and win each hour. Wagers run from $1 to $5 per game.
Pick 1–10 numbers from 1–80. Choose your wager, from $1 to $5, and whether to add Bull's-Eye. Every 4 minutes, 20 numbers are drawn. You win based on how many of your numbers match, according to the paytable for your spot count. Bull's-Eye adds a second prize tier on top of the base game.
Kansas Keno does not have a prize multiplier. Its optional add-on is Bull's-Eye, and it works differently: after the 20 winning numbers are drawn, one extra number is drawn as the Bull's-Eye and shown separately from the main 20. Adding Bull's-Eye doubles your wager, and if one of your numbers matches the Bull's-Eye you collect a Bull's-Eye prize on top of any regular Keno prize.
The top prize on a standard Kansas Keno play is $100,000. With Bull's-Eye added, the maximum rises to $300,000 on a 10-spot game.
Kansas is one of the few lottery keno games with progressive jackpots. The 6-spot, 7-spot, and 8-spot games each carry a jackpot that grows every draw until someone catches all their numbers, so the top prize on those spot counts moves rather than sitting at a fixed amount.
All payouts below are for a $1 base bet. Higher wager amounts multiply payouts proportionally.
