Ohio Lottery KENO! is a fast-paced keno game available at authorized Ohio Lottery retailers across the state. Players pick 1 to 10 spots from a board of 80 numbers. Twenty numbers are drawn each game. Draws happen every 4 minutes during retailer operating hours.
Ohio Keno is one of the most popular Ohio Lottery games, available at thousands of bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and other licensed retailers. Live draw results appear on in-store monitors so you can follow along in real time.
Ohio Keno's standout feature is the Kicker, an optional multiplier add-on. When you add Kicker to your ticket (at double the base wager), a multiplier is randomly selected after the draw:
The Kicker multiplier applies to all prizes on that ticket. It doubles your cost, so check whether the expected value improvement justifies the extra spend for your spot count and play style. The 10x outcome is the least frequent.
Prizes shown per $1 wagered (without Kicker). Multiply by your bet amount for actual payouts. Always verify current paytables at your retailer or the Ohio Lottery website.
Ohio KENO! is a game of chance with a significant house edge. Set a budget and stick to it. For problem gambling help, call the Ohio Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-589-9966 or visit our resources page.
