Keno Rules
Keno results are currently based on Chinese (Beijing), Canadian, West Canadian, Australian & Slovakian Keno official results. KENO is played with 20 numbered balls drawn randomly from 80 numbered balls ranging from 01 to 80. The combination of these 20 numbers were divided and segregated into several variations and different kinds of bet type each with their own payout calculations and rates.
The official result timing strictly corresponds with each region the game was extracted from.
KENO is divided into several types namely:
- BIG/SMALL
- ODD/EVEN
- ODDS/EVENS
- UP/DOWN
- FIVE RANGES
- PEARL BALL
- BIG/SMALL & ODD/EVEN Parlay

If one (or more) selection should fail to win, then the Parlay loses. Parlay bets cannot be wagered on ExScore and Five Ranges bets. Parlay bets are deem void should a game result draw is cancelled due to any form of suspension, termination or cancellation of draw results.
