After you have submitted your selection, 20 numbered balls will "drop" into a hopper from a tube. If enough of your spots are selected, you win. It is that easy. You will obviously gain more, if more of your spots appear, like with lotteries.
Most online keno games allow you to buy cards between five cents and 5 dollars, and pay out in multiples of your card value. Jackpot prizes of up to $50,000 are not uncommon.
