How to Play Keno

Maryland Keno is a fast-paced, fun game that allows you to choose how many numbers to play, how much money to wager, where to play, and where to check the winning numbers. The Maryland Lottery's computer terminal continuously generates random sets of 20 numbers, every three and a half minutes, for each game. So you get the chance to win $100,000 at a break of every three and a half minutes. The game also gives you the option of playing your favorite numbers for up to 20 consecutive draws thereby helping you grab that every lucky chance to bag the jackpot.

Playing Maryland Keno is super easy and fun. Just grab a Keno playslip worth $1, select how many numbers or Spots, from one to ten, you want to play per game. Then decide how much to wager, from $1 to $20, per game. After wagering and selecting the Spots, choose ten numbers from a field of 1 to 80 and mark them on your playslip. Or opt for Quick Pick if you prefer playing numbers randomly generated by the terminal. Maryland Lottery's computer generates random sets of 20 numbers, every three and a half minutes, for each game. The central computer then "locks in" on a set of those numbers, which are then displayed on the Keno monitor. If your selected numbers matched the numbers displayed on the monitor, you bag the winning lottery prizes.

Get the chance to multiply your winnings by playing Super Bonus. Mark a "Yes" on your playslip for the bonus option you want to play and have the chance to multiply your winnings on every game and on every ticket. It guarantees both that if you win, your winnings will be multiplied, and also that your multiplier will be higher than the regular Bonus multiplier. Super Bonus gives you the chance to multiply your winnings by up to 20 times and guarantees you will at least double your regular Keno payouts.
The cost of your Super Bonus wager is twice the amount of your game wager. So if you wager $2 on Keno, your Super Bonus wager is an additional $4, making your ticket cost a total of $6. The Super Bonus Wheel displaying the numbers will appear on the monitor just before each drawing. The wheel spins and stops to reveal which multiplier applies to the next Keno game. Your lottery winnings are bound to increase when you choose Super Bonus. Possible multipliers for the game are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, and even 20. If your ticket turns out as a winner for that game, the amount won will be multiplied by the multiplier that appeared on the Super Bonus wheel to determine the total amount of your winnings.

Want to play your numbers for more than one drawing and grab that lucky chance of winning? Well, the Maryland Lottery gives you the option of playing your numbers for up to 20 consecutive multiple draws thereby multiplying your possibilities to win.

You need to hand over the completed playslip, with the correct wager and numbers to the lottery retailer. Your lottery ticket is your only receipt. Ensure to check the accuracy of the numbers and sign at the back of your ticket for proper authentication.
