KENO

Keno is a game of chance, played with numbered cards and counters by any number of people. Keno is a variant of bingo, which it closely resembles. In both games the players are issued cards divided into rows of numbered squares, no two cards having exactly the same numbers. In keno the possible numbers in each of twenty-five squares range from 1 to 90; in bingo the possible numbers extend from 1 to 75. Unlike the bingo card, the keno card has no free number in the centre square. When keno is played, the operator of the game draws or releases numbered balls, one at a time, from a container known as the 'keno goose' which contains no duplicate numbers. Each number is marked off by the operator on a large board. Winners are those who first cover on their cards all five numbers in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row.
