Montana has two ways to play keno. The Montana Lottery runs Ten Spot Keno, and on top of that the state has more than 1,400 licensed venues with video keno machines. Here is how both work.
Montana Ten Spot Keno runs as a real monitor keno game, but we have not wired up an automatic results feed for it yet. We are actively working on adding live, auto-updating Montana Ten Spot Keno draws to KenoSpots the same way we already do for Massachusetts, Ohio, and a dozen other states. Until then, this page covers how the game works and where to play it. Check the Montana Lottery website for the latest winning numbers.
Montana is unusual. It has both a lottery keno product and one of the most widespread video gambling networks in the country. That means you can play keno through the Montana Lottery and also at taverns, casinos, and licensed locations all over the state.
Ten Spot Keno is the Montana Lottery's draw keno game. It uses the classic format: 80 numbers, 20 drawn, and you pick your spots up to 10. It is sold at Montana Lottery retailers, and like other lottery keno games it offers fixed prizes based on how many of your spots match.
This is what makes Montana stand out. State law allows licensed video gambling machines, including video keno, at bars, taverns, and casinos throughout Montana. There are well over 1,400 licensed gambling locations in the state, and video keno is one of the most common machine games you will find alongside video poker and line games.
Lottery Ten Spot Keno is a draw game with fixed prizes and a single statewide paytable. Video keno is a machine game with faster play and paytables set within state limits. If you want the bigger fixed prizes, the lottery game is the draw. If you want speed and constant availability, the video machines are everywhere.
For Ten Spot Keno, visit a Montana Lottery retailer, pick your spots from 1 to 80, choose your wager, and check your numbers against the draw. For video keno, visit any licensed gambling location. You must be 18 or older for the lottery and 18 or older for licensed machine gambling in Montana.
