Pennsylvania Keno's standout feature is the Keno Multiplier, an optional add-on. It costs twice your base wager, so adding it triples the total price of a play ($1 base + $2 Multiplier = a $3 ticket). A multiplier is randomly selected for the draw:
The Keno Multiplier applies to all prizes on that ticket. It triples your total 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 by a wide margin.
