How to Play

DC Keno is the District of Columbia's rapid-draw keno game offering a new chance to win every 3.5 minutes throughout the day and evening. With 20 numbers drawn from a field of 80, players can choose how many spots to play (1-10) and wager from $1 to $100 per game. The optional Keno Spin feature can multiply non-jackpot prizes up to 10 times.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose How Many Spots to Play: Decide how many numbers you want to try to match per game by selecting anywhere from 1 to 10 spots. More spots mean bigger potential prizes but lower odds of matching all your numbers.

2. Pick Your Numbers: Select your chosen quantity of numbers from 1 to 80, or use the Quick Pick option to have the computer randomly select numbers for you.

3. Select Your Wager Amount: Choose how much you want to wager per game, from $1 to $100. The maximum Keno wager is $100 per play slip. All prize amounts are based on a $1 wager and multiply proportionally for higher wagers.

4. Add Keno Spin (Optional): For an additional $1 per each dollar wagered, you can activate Keno Spin. This feature can multiply your prize by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. Note: The $100,000 base jackpot and $1,000,000 Keno Spin jackpot cannot be multiplied. Maximum Keno wager with Keno Spin is $200 per play slip.

5. Choose Number of Consecutive Drawings: Decide how many consecutive drawings you want to play with your selected numbers. You can play multiple drawings in advance.

How Keno Drawings Work: In every draw, 20 winning numbers are randomly selected from 1 to 80. Your prize depends on how many of your selected spots match the 20 numbers drawn. The more numbers you match, the bigger your prize.
