West Virginia gives you keno two ways. The West Virginia Lottery runs Keno Go, a rapid draw game, and on top of that the state has video keno on Limited Video Lottery machines in thousands of bars and clubs, plus casino video keno at the racetrack casinos. Here is how each one works and where to find it.
West Virginia Keno Go runs as a real rapid draw keno game, but we have not wired up an automatic results feed for it yet. We are working on adding live, auto-updating West Virginia draws the same way we already do for Massachusetts, Ohio, and a dozen other states. Until then, this page covers how both Keno Go and the state's video keno machines work and where to play them. Check the West Virginia Lottery website for the latest winning numbers.
West Virginia is one of the states where you can play both lottery keno and video keno. The West Virginia Lottery sells Keno Go, a rapid draw game at lottery retailers. Separately, video keno runs on gaming machines in two settings: Limited Video Lottery terminals in licensed bars and clubs, and the casino floors at the state's four racetrack casinos. All of them use the same core format, where 20 numbers are drawn out of 80 and you are paid based on how many of your spots hit.
Keno Go is the West Virginia Lottery's draw keno game. You pick 1 to 10 spots out of 80, choose a wager from $1 to $10 per draw, and play 1 to 20 consecutive draws. The Lottery draws 20 numbers every few minutes, and fixed prizes are based on how many of your spots match. It is sold at West Virginia Lottery retailers across the state. Keno Go is the closest thing West Virginia has to the monitor keno you see in Massachusetts or Ohio.
This is the version most West Virginians know. The state's Limited Video Lottery program allows licensed bars, taverns, and private and fraternal clubs to operate a small bank of video lottery terminals. Those machines offer video poker, line games, and video keno. There are thousands of these terminals across the state, which makes West Virginia one of the easier places to sit down and play a few keno games without driving to a casino.
West Virginia's four racetrack casinos also carry video keno alongside their slots and table games. If you want a wider range of denominations and bigger top-end paytables, the casino floor is the place to look.
Lottery keno is a draw game: numbers are picked centrally every few minutes and everyone in the state plays the same draw with one published paytable. Video keno is a machine game: each terminal runs its own instant draw and the paytable is set by the operator within state limits. Video keno is faster and far more available, but the published top prizes are usually smaller than a lottery draw game.
Most West Virginia machines run the standard IGT video keno schedule, the same Game King paytable used in casinos nationwide. Payouts below are per credit wagered, before any machine-specific bonus feature. Use the odds calculator to see the exact probability behind each catch.
For Keno Go, visit a West Virginia Lottery retailer, fill out a playslip with 1 to 10 spots, choose your wager and number of draws, and check your numbers against the draw. To play video keno at a bar or club, find a licensed Limited Video Lottery location, sit at a terminal, insert cash, choose video keno, pick 1 to 10 spots out of 80, set your wager, and start the draw. To play at a casino, visit any of the four racetrack casinos and find the video keno machines on the floor. You must be 18 or older to buy a Keno Go ticket and 21 or older to play Limited Video Lottery or to gamble at a West Virginia casino.
